feature request. Set DSC panel time upon connection.

These things don't support NTP... well, at least not the Envisalink 3. Not sure if others do. It would be nice to have accurate time.

Cool- good idea! sorry it's been crazy so i'm not the quickest, but I can get this done.

I have added this into v3.9. I have a pending pull request to get that put into HASS. Will update once the PR is accepted into the dev branch. You're free to test whenever though.

I think this has actually created a new issue in reverse - my EVL3 does support NTP via Eyez On ("Auto Time Updates"). So the time on my EVL3 is correct.

Now with this implemented when I restart Home Assistant, which uses UTC, my EVL3 gets set to UTC until it sync's with Eyez On again sometime overnight - then I get the correct time on my DSC panel again.

Is there a way to toggle this on / off somehow? I get the use case going both ways.

Does pyenvisalink enable time/date broadcasts on the Envisalink (0561CC) to be able to check the time on the Envisalink?

The time/date broadcasts are only to minute resolution and aren't sent right when the minute changes, so they can be up to one minute off.
