  2. DLMS Python. CLOCK Object. Change Time

DLMS Python. CLOCK object. change time

By Robin Niezen , 2 October, 2024

Hello,

When I was reading a profile based on date range.
I noticed that the time of my device was several days of?
This probably due to production to installation off-time.

In the director I saw that we can set the time to current time.
But i cannot really figure out which method of the clock object is called.

I want to set the time to current time using the python library. Since my application needs to be able to correct the time.

How could I best implement this feature?

Update the date time and then write it to the meter like this:

clock1 = GXDLMSClock()
clock1.time = datetime.datetime.now()
self.write(clock1, 2)

Hi Mikko,

I was making it more difficult than it needs to be.

In the clock item there are all these methods for adjusting time.
But not really one for syncing.

I will work with this one for now.

Regards,

Robin
