NTP

The NTP library allows you to receive time information from the Internet. It also have support for different timezones and daylight saving time (DST). This NTP library uses the functions of the time.h standard library.

Changes for 1.7

  • support for AVR
  • optimizations

Changes for 1.6

  • change of begin(), now you can start with hostname or IP address
  • no blocking
  • better documentation

Example

Example for WIFI boards like ESP32 or MKR1000, NANO RP2040 Connect and other, prints formatted time and date strings to console.

// change next line to use with another board/shield
//#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
//#include <WiFi.h> // for WiFi shield or ESP32
//#include <WiFi101.h> // for WiFi 101 shield or MKR1000
#include <WiFiNINA.h> // for UNO Wifi Rev 2 or Nano RP2040 connect
//#include "WiFiUdp.h" // not needed for WiFiNINA
#include "NTP.h"

const char *ssid     = "yourSSID"; // your network SSID
const char *password = "yourPASSWORD"; // your network PW

WiFiUDP wifiUdp;
NTP ntp(wifiUdp);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.println("Connecting ...");
    delay(500);
    }
  Serial.println("Connected");  
  ntp.ruleDST("CEST", Last, Sun, Mar, 2, 120); // last sunday in march 2:00, timetone +120min (+1 GMT + 1h summertime offset)
  ntp.ruleSTD("CET", Last, Sun, Oct, 3, 60); // last sunday in october 3:00, timezone +60min (+1 GMT)
  ntp.begin();
  Serial.println("start NTP");
  }

void loop() {
  ntp.update();
  Serial.println(ntp.formattedTime("%d. %B %Y")); // dd. Mmm yyyy
  Serial.println(ntp.formattedTime("%A %T")); // Www hh:mm:ss
  delay(1000);
  }

Class Definitions

NTP(UDP& udp);

Constructor for a NTP object

Example, this should done before setup()

WiFiUDP wifiUdp;
NTP ntp(wifiUdp);
~NTP();

Destructor for a NTP object

begin()

void begin(const char* server = "pool.ntp.org");
void begin(IPAddress serverIP);

Start the underlaying UDP client with a hostname or IP address.

Example, this must done in setup()

ntp.begin(); // start the NTP client with the standard host

stop()

void stop();

Stop the underlaying UDP client

Example, this must done in setup()

ntp.stop();

update()

void update();

This must called in the main loop()

Example

loop() {
  ntp.update();
  }

updateInterval()

void updateInterval(uint32_t interval);

Set the update interval for connecting the NTP server in ms, default is 60000ms (60s)

Example, this must done in setup()

ntp.updateInterval(1000); // update every second

ruleDST()

void ruleDST(const char* tzName, int8_t week, int8_t wday, int8_t month, int8_t hour, int tzOffset);

Set the rules for the daylight save time settings

  • tzname is the name of the timezone, e.g. "CEST" (central europe summer time)
  • week Last, First, Second, Third, Fourth (0 - 4)
  • wday Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat (0 - 7)
  • month Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec (0 -11)
  • hour the local hour when rule changes
  • tzOffset timezone offset in minutes

Example, this must done in setup()

ntp.ruleDST("CEST", Last, Sun, Mar, 2, 120); // last sunday in march 2:00, timezone +120min (+1 GMT + 1h summertime offset)

Return ruleDST()

const char* ruleDST();

Returns the DST time back, formatted as an ctime string

ruleSTD()

void ruleSTD(const char* tzName, int8_t week, int8_t wday, int8_t month, int8_t hour, int tzOffset);

Set the rules for the standard time settings

  • tzname is the name of the timezone, e.g. "CET" (central europe time)
  • week Last, First, Second, Third, Fourth (0 - 4)
  • wday Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat (0 - 7)
  • month Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec (0 -11)
  • hour the local hour when rule changes
  • tzOffset timezone offset in minutes

Example, this must done in setup()

ntp.ruleSTD("CET", Last, Sun, Oct, 3, 60); // last sunday in october 3:00, timezone +60min (+1 GMT)

Return ruleSTD()

const char* ruleSTD();

Return the STD time back, formatted as an ctime string

Return tzName()

const char* tzName();

Return you the name of the current timezone, based on your rule settings

timeZone()

void timeZone(int8_t tzHours, int8_t tzMinutes = 0);

Only use this function when you don't made the rules setting, you have to the set isDST(false)

isDST()

void isDST(bool dstZone);

Use in conjunction with timeZone, when there is no DST!

Return isDST()

bool isDST();

Return the DST status back, true if summertime

epoch()

time_t epoch();

Return the Unix epoch timestamp

year(), month(), day(), weekDay(), hours(), minutes(), seconds()

int16_t year();
int8_t month();
int8_t day();
int8_t weekDay();
int8_t hours();
int8_t minutes();
int8_t seconds();

Return the datas from the tm structure of the "time.h" library

Return formattedTime()

const char* formattedTime(const char *format);

Return a string, formated with strftime function of standard time library

Example

loop() {
  ntp.update();
  Serial.println(ntp.formattedTime("%d. %B %Y")); // dd. Mmm yyyy
  Serial.println(ntp.formattedTime("%A %T")); // Www hh:mm:ss
  delay(1000);
