I’m away till the weekend, I’ll see if I can sort something out then.
I’ve a new approach to send custom text and templates to the led matrix. Ere is the repo…attention! Still alpha !
@thundergreen
oh, can you check the link again, returns 404
Can you tell me how did you set the time zone, for example i need to set +5:30 for India, can you tell me how this will work in the sketch under timezone.
In the original code you would change …
int8_t timeZone = 0;
int8_t minutesTimeZone = 0;
In the new code there is no time, you would send it via HA using a template or string over mqtt.
// Application
#define APP_TIMEZONE 99 // +1 hour (Amsterdam) (-12 .. 12 = hours from UTC, 99 = use TIME_DST/TIME_STD)
int8_t timeZone = 0;
int8_t minutesTimeZone = 0;
thanks @keithh666, is this all it needs? im still using the code you posted above., i tried compiling got some errors
MyParola_Scrolling:467: error: ‘timezone’ was not declared in this scope
if (timezone == 99)
^
exit status 1
‘timezone’ was not declared in this scope
i resolved that, do you have the new code to push it from HA, please share i think thats much better.
It’s as linked above by thundergreen.
that link seems to return 404, is that still available, i couldnt find it.
I think you may have to sign-in, that’s how I created it - and the link works for me.
Hey Keith, i signed in too, but still the same error, even followed you but no luck…im not sure what is wrong here. can you see if the repo is private,. 
Try it now 
Do u have access now?
I’ll also give it a shot tonight…ota possible ?
ota possible ?
Not currently no 
That would be nice
i got it to work, its much better than the old sketch, i can now send any data i wish from HA, @keithh666 thanks again, impressive work indeed.
I’ll put it on my list of things to do
Cool…im going to test it now
