Clock screen
Clock Screen
Overview
| OLED | E-Ink |
|---|---|
 |
 |
A full-screen clock page on the home screen. Shows the current time and date, with up to three configurable data fields below.
Time is synchronized from GPS or via the companion app. Timezone offset is applied from Settings › System.
If no time source is available, the screen shows "! No time sync" with a hint to enable GPS or connect the app.
Time display
- Format — 24 h or 12 h with AM/PM; configurable in Settings › Display
- Seconds — shown by default on OLED; hidden on e-ink (always) and optionally on OLED via Settings › Display › Clock seconds; hiding reduces the refresh rate from 1 s to 60 s
Data fields

Up to three data fields are shown below the date separator. Each field displays a label and a value on the same line.
| Field | Label | Value |
|---|---|---|
| None | — | — |
| Batt V | Batt | Battery voltage (e.g. 3.92V) |
| Batt % | Batt | Battery percentage using LiPo curve anchored at the low-battery threshold |
| Temperature | Temp | °C from onboard sensor |
| Humidity | Hum | % from onboard sensor |
| Pressure | Pres | hPa from onboard sensor |
| GPS | GPS | lat lon decimal degrees, or no fix |
| Altitude | Alt | metres from onboard sensor (GPS or barometric) |
| Luminosity | Lux | lux from onboard sensor |
| CO₂ | CO2 | ppm from onboard sensor |
| Contacts | Nodes | Total contacts in the mesh |
| Messages | Msgs | Total unread message count |
Sensor fields show -- when the sensor is not connected or has no data.

Hold Enter (or press the Context menu key) on the Clock page to open the Dashboard Config screen, where each of the three field slots can be cycled with LEFT/RIGHT.
Clock tools — Alarm, Timer, Stopwatch
Press Enter (short press) on the Clock page to open Clock Tools, a small menu with three time utilities. Cancel backs out one level (tool → menu → home). The same menu also has an entry under Tools › System, so it's reachable without the Clock page.
Alarm
A wake alarm with an optional repeat. Rows: Hour, Minute, Repeat and Armed. Enter on Hour or Minute opens the digit editor (LEFT/RIGHT moves between the tens/units, UP/DOWN changes the digit); Enter on Repeat cycles Off → Daily → Weekdays → Weekends → Off; Enter on Armed toggles ON/OFF. The configured time is shown next to the Alarm menu row when armed, and the setting persists across reboots.
While an alarm is armed a bell icon signals it in two places: the top-left corner of the Clock page itself, and the top status bar of the other home pages (the status bar is hidden on the Clock page, which is why the clock face carries its own indicator). The bell is icon-only — the exact alarm time is on the Alarm row inside Clock Tools.
The alarm is scheduled as an absolute fire instant, so it is robust to clock re-syncs — the mesh (every inbound packet), the companion app, GPS and the CLI can all jump the device clock at any moment. A correction that moves the clock a little still fires at the right wall-clock time; a jump that skips over the alarm time still fires (late). With Repeat set to Off (the default) the alarm disarms itself after firing once, same as before; with a repeat pattern set, it stays armed and re-schedules itself for the next matching day instead.
The alarm only fires while the device is awake (it keeps running with the display off or locked). It cannot wake the device from a full Shutdown (the CPU and RAM are powered down), and needs a valid time source — it stays pending until the clock is synced.
Timer (countdown)
A large HH:MM:SS readout with one digit underlined. LEFT/RIGHT moves the cursor one digit at a time, Up/Down changes the digit under it (minute/second tens cap at 5, hours at 23), and Enter starts the countdown. While running it shows H:MM:SS — Enter stops it, Cancel returns to the menu and leaves it counting. When it reaches zero the device rings, even if you have navigated to another screen.
Stopwatch
Enter starts/stops; Up/Down resets when stopped; Cancel returns to the menu and leaves it running.
Ringing
When the alarm or timer fires the device plays a melody (overriding mute) and shows an alert. Any key silences it; otherwise it stops on its own after a minute.
E-ink note: the live timer/stopwatch readouts would thrash a slow e-paper panel if redrawn every second, so on e-ink they refresh only coarsely (and immediately on any key press). The underlying timing is exact regardless, and the countdown's buzzer always fires on time.
