Enviro Weather Red Light v0.0.10 about enviro

[sjefferson99]

The issue is indeed failure to sync with NTP server, the main code loop will bail and wait for the next wakeup to try again while flashing the red light if the NTP sync fails. This is reflected by the log entry "! failed to synchronise clock"

The cause of this is the NTP module fails to populate the timestamp variable with a valid time, which aligns to log output " - failed to fetch time from NTP server".

Given you have a valid IP address logged above you have successfully connected to your AP and sent/received packets to get a DHCP response, so I would suggest this is a network issue between your AP/firewall/router preventing the Pico making the call to the NTP server rather than any wireless config you could adjust on the Pico.

Could you try setting an hotspot up on your phone and connecting to that instead of your main wireless, if that works then you can confirm it's that specific connection that has an issue.

I had this problem (or a very similar one). I worked around it by changing the NTP server (line 4)
ntp_host = "uk.pool.ntp.org"
You could try picking one for your location and see if it works? https://www.ntppool.org/en/

I connected via mobile hotspot and that worked.
Then reset and connected back to AP (Asus GT-AX6000) and I think it is now working.. just waiting and watch to see if it turns back on..

I have this connected via StarlinkISP maybe a temporary intermittent issue but didn't notice any connectivity issues?

Which NTP server is being used I'm getting red lights again flashing..

[sjefferson99]

The failing function is calling this code (phew.ntp): https://github.com/pimoroni/phew/blob/b33a44bffeb1354b730b9572410232b10f6e62e9/phew/ntp.py
So it looks like pool.ntp.org.
