Hello
Has anyone ever done this using Simpl+ ? I want the control system either at boot-up or once a day sync with a time server. I am pretty sure i can write the code to set the time, my only problem is not knowing how to connect to an url/ip address. I can't seem to find anything in the reference manual for Simpl+ .
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Greg
Maybe i should mention that i am talking about Crestron control system.

Google for "NTP" (Network Time Protocol). You'll find the protocol specs, and various apps, as well as list of available time servers.

There's a great little freeware program called Dimension4 that automatically synchs up with any of dozens of time servers that come built into the program's database:

Greg,
I don't have Crestron so can't help with SIMPL+ syntax but I currently use a simpler approach with my embedded devices. XP can automatically call a time server to keep its clock accurate. On my W98SE machines I rum Dimension4.exe with it set to sync with a time server a couple of times per day. Then any embedded devices that are either connected to a serial port on one of the machines or any embedded device that has an ethernet interface can sync its RTC to a PC that, in turn, has synced with a time server recently.
For example, roZetta sends "?RTC" either over a serial c>Hello
