You could run a script that updates a device status with a clock / timer. It'll be the system time on the HS4 box. I use similiar here for my Homeseer touchscreens.
Code:&nhs.SetDeviceStringByName("Time", now.ToString("HH:mm"), True) & hs.SetDeviceStringByName("Date", now.ToString("ddd. MMM dd"), True)
Code:&nhs.SetDeviceStringByName("Time5Sec", now.ToString(":ss"), True)
Google / search on the Homeseer forum and you will see many examples.Code:Public Sub ShowTime(parms As Object) Dim iMin As Integer = CInt(hs.DeviceValueByName("CDTimer")) Dim iHour As Integer = iMin \ 60 iMin = iMin Mod 60 Dim buff As String = CStr(iMin) If iMin < 10 Then buff = "0" + buff ' Ensure minutes is two digits hs.SetDeviceStringByName("CDTimer", CStr(iHour) + ":" + buff, False) End Sub
Personally here run an NTP with PPS server on my PFSense firewall which uses a serial GPS and PPS from the GPS board.
All of the devices on my home network get their time from the PFSense Firewall box.- Pete
