Time/date

The DiGidot C4 has a build-in clock to trigger various time based actions.
Automatic sync time
Every time the interface is loaded, the browser/app time will be used to synchronize the DiGidot C4
time and date. Once the time and date are set, the on-board battery will keep the internal clock
running. Automatic sync of time and date can be disabled in the device settings and allow for
manual date/time override.
Home > Settings > Device > deselect 'Sync time and date' automatically
Time accuracy
Please consider following regarding Time keeping accuracy:
The internal clock (RTC) has a deviation of 0.0038%, which means effectively that the clock can get
behind up to ±20 minutes per year.
In order to resynchronize the RTC, the DiGidot C4 (network) must be connected to a computer or to
the DiGidot C4 app and the interface must be loaded. The C4 will then automatically obtain the local
real time and will reset its RTC.
If this..
Select 'TIME PERIOD' for triggers that have to be active during a specific time frame.
E.g. A trigger is created with a time frame from 10 AM till 12 AM. When the DiGidot C4 is powered
within this time frame, it will execute the associated action. The action will not stop at the end of
the time frame (12 AM). You will need to create another trigger to stop the action at 12 AM. In the
time frame it's possible to overwrite the action manually or with another trigger.
TIME PERIOD:

‣
