Arduino example: setting TZ env variable and getLocalTime().

[Cellie]

Simple example showing TZ vars and sntp setup.

Code: Select all

#include "apps/sntp/sntp.h"
#include "WiFi.h"
struct tm timeinfo;

const String timeStr[7]= {
  "EST-10EDT-11,M10.5.0/02:00:00,M3.5.0/03:00:00",
  "CET-1CEST-2,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00",
  "GMT+0BST-1,M3.5.0/01:00:00,M10.5.0/02:00:00",
  "WET-0WEST-1,M3.5.0/01:00:00,M10.5.0/02:00:00",
  "MSK-3MSD,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3",
  "HAW10",
  "MST7",
};

//TZ strings can be found at http://www.remotemonitoringsystems.ca/time-zone-abbreviations.php
