NSPanel Local Time Issue Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out to seek some assistance with an issue I’m encountering with my NSPanel. Despite configuring it with ESPHome, the local time displayed on the panel remains incorrect, while my test board shows the correct time. I’ve attached my configuration and logs for reference.

Configuration Overview

I’ve set up the time platform with a 10-second interval, utilizing Home Assistant’s time entity. The goal was for the NSPanel to reflect the accurate local time, but it seems to be stuck at an incorrect value.

time:

  • platform: homeassistant
    id: homeassistant_time
    interval: 10 sec

Logs Analysis

From the logs, it’s evident that the NSPanel’s time isn’t updating as expected. The test board correctly displays the current time, while the NSPanel shows an outdated value. This suggests a potential issue with how the time is being fetched or updated on the NSPanel side.

NSPanel log snippet

[11:10:26][D][main:1331]: hora_HA 18.000000, minutos_HA 10.000000
[11:10:36][D][main:1331]: hora_HA 18.000000, minutos_HA 10.000000

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Configuration Review: Ensure that the time entity in ESPHome is correctly configured and that there are no syntax errors.
  2. Network Connectivity: Verify that the NSPanel has stable network connectivity to receive time updates from Home Assistant.
  3. Time Entity Functionality: Check if the Home Assistant time entity is functioning correctly and providing accurate time data.
  4. RTC Check: Although less likely, inspect the NSPanel’s RTC to ensure it’s functioning properly.
  5. Reconfiguration: Consider resetting or reflashing the NSPanel’s ESPHome configuration to rule out software-related issues.
