- Home - 04-21-2019
I have ETH03 set up to synchronise comfort time.
Firstly how can i tell that i\'m using comfort time or synchronised time?
Secondly I want to be able to use the comfort (syncronised) time for KNX time? Cannot see a way of sucking date and time out of comfort?

Got it
Event 33 and 34 in the ETH03 - Alarms to KNX.
HOWEVER i still don\'t ACTUALLY know if I\'m using Comfort time clock or internet time?
Perhaps another item for the bottom line of Comfigurator screen?

When you set up Internet time on ETH03 CS Manager, you select the Time server and the frequency of update eg 10 minutes. This causes ETH03 to obtain the curent time from the selected server every 10 minutes foor example
Comfort time will then continue to run, so there is not a different \"Internet Time\"
Comfort can get the time from different sources eg KNX and Cbus, and it does not know which was the last source which provided the time update. So it is not feasible to diplay \"Internet Time\" or otherwise

OK
I understand that Comfort cannot decipher where external time comes from ! HOWEVER it surely must know whether it is using its own internal time clock or an external source.
If it does then what I\'m suggesting - is that the user or programmer etc knows if the Comfort time is self generated by comfort or if it is from an external source.

Comfort is always using its own clock at all times.
External sources may update the time. Once the time is updated, Comfort continues to run on its own internal clock, and will continue to do so even if the external source does not update the internal clock.
Think of your mobile phone. It is updated from the same type of Internet time server periodically. Then it continues to run on its internal clock. This is exactly the same as how it is done in Comfort. You would not expect the phone to show if it is on \"Internet Time\" or \"phone time\".
I hope this makes it clear
