⚙️ Configuring Clockwise

Once you’ve flashed the firmware and your Clockwise is running, it’s time to configure it!

Clockwise includes a built-in Settings Page (web-based) where you can easily adjust key options such as WiFi, timezone, display brightness, and more — no coding required.

How to Access the Settings Page

• After flashing, Clockwise will guide you to the Settings page automatically. Use the button VISIT DEVICE after during the flashing process.
• Or, if your device is already connected to WiFi:
  • Visit http://clockwise.local/ from a device on the same network
  • Or use the IP address shown on in the Serial console of your clock

Available Settings

Timezone & NTP Server

• Timezone — use a standard format such as:
  • America/New_York
  • Europe/Paris
  • Asia/Dubai
• NTP Server — set your preferred time server (default: time.google.com)

---

Display Brightness

• Manual brightness control (0-100%)
• Automatic Brightness:
  If you connect an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor), Clockwise can adjust brightness automatically based on ambient light.
  👉 Guide: Connecting an LDR
  • LDR Pin: the ESP32 GPIO pin where the LDR is connected to. The default is 35. There is a link there where you can read the current value of LDR and test if it's working.

Display Rotation

• Rotate the display by 0°, 90°, 180°, 270°
• Useful for cable management or wall-mounting adjustments

---

Clockface Selection

• If you are using Canvas clockface, there are two more parameters that can be seen here.

---

RGB Order Fix (Swap Blue/Green pins)

• Some LED panels may show swapped colors
• You can adjust the order of RGB pins here if needed

---

POSIX Timezone String (Advanced)

• For more precise timezone behavior or offline use. Consider this option in case you are having problems with NTP server or wrong time.
• Example string: EST5EDT,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2
