Quick Setup:

Network Setup:

(note: older versions may say USE APP, ignore this for 60 seconds)

To force setup mode, press the SETUP button within 5 seconds of power on and it will display AP followed by the ID and IP Address.

AP Mode Setup:

On any computer or phone, connect to the network named ESP-CLOCK-XXXXX where XXXXX is the unique ID for your clock. It is the same ID shown on the display. The password is 12345678. Once you connect, go to http://espclock.local (v5.93+) or http://192.168.4.1 and the admin page will load.

On the admin page, fill in the SSID field with your wifi network name and the PSK field with the password. If no password, leave blank. Note the password has a max limit of 64 characters. While you're there, you can fill in the clock name, in case you have more than one so you can identify the clock. Check off Update Wifi Config and click Update at the bottom. The page may appear to hang, but you should see your device connect to the wifi network, show the IP it got and then the time.

Settings

Configuring time zone and source: Once the clock is on the network, you can connect to it using http://espclock-xxxxxx.local (v5.93+) or its IP address. You can get the xxxxxx by pressing the rear button and looking for the 6 digit code. It will show the address on startup or if you press the SETUP button. You'll need this code to login in the next step.

The username is "admin" and the password is the 5 or 6 digit clock ID in all lowercase shown on startup, usually in the format of 1df1d0 or 61a90.

You can specify the DNS name or IP of any NTP time server and the interval to sync with. A good interval is 10 minutes which is 600 seconds. 0.espclock.pool.ntp.org is the default. These values take effect immediately. If you change the interval, you may notice that the clock displays dashes while it re-syncs the time. A small dot will appear next to the minutes digit when the clock is syncing.

Time Zone: There are two sections to configure for the time zone, one for Daylight Savings (DST) and Standard (STD) time. Here you can put in the zone abbreviation and offset along with the start or end time. These settings won't take effect until you reset the clock (power cycle it).

Other Settings:

  • 12 Hr: Put the clock in 12 hour display mode
  • Sync Indicator: Normally the dot between the minutes and seconds flashes on sync and stays on when not synced. You can invert this behavior by checking off this option.
  • Wide mode: this is if you customize it to have both modules next to each other, and it only shows hh mm ss
