With the help of the date/time receiver, it is possible to receive the current date or time via the EIB/KNX, e.g. from a DCF clock. The component is invisible, i.e. the operator does not see it in the client. It is only executed on the server.
Normally, the DCF77 time is sent as local time, e.g. adjusted to summer or winter time. In most cases, this setting is correct.
If the DCF receiver receives UTC/GMT time, it must be changed to system time.
Note: For date and time, two telegrams with different group addresses are required in the EIB/KNX. The data types must be set in the ETS as date or time according to the content.
