No system time source

[Rob73]

I have a module setup with a gps unit to set time on all of the other units through the p2p. I have a recently flashed and configured esp32-c3 that I can not get it to show that its time is set. It shows on the main page under Time Source : No time set and under Local time: it shows No system time source. I believe I have all of the p2p stuff set up and all of my other units show to be getting their time set from the gps, indicated by showing ESPEasy p2p (206) under Time source on their pages. What can I look for to troubleshoot the modules time getting set through p2p from the gps unit?

Does it show the other nodes on the root page of that node?

If not, then the correct UDP port isn't set.

For time sync it probably isn't required, but you should have an unique node number for each ESPEasy node when using p2p.

Are all on the same network/subnet?

ESPeasy p2p uses UDP broadcast.
Could it be your access point blocks it?
Does your node use static IP or DHCP?
If static IP, are you sure there are no conflicts?

There are no other nodes showing up on the main page. The UDP port is the 8266 as on all of the modules. I have the network setup on dhcp, so that should be all correct, but I will dig into that. There could be something screwy going on there. I will dig into it and get back with you.

Thanks..

It looks like it may have been something with the network. I gave it a dhcp reservation on the router. It didnt seem to do anything special. I noticed a few devices not online that connect to my outdoor access point, so i gave that a reboot. When the ESPEASY module connected back up it shows it to be talking on the p2p with the time set correctly.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

OK, so the routing table of the access point or the MAC table in some switch (or AP) may have been in some undefined state I guess.
