This is a ESP8266 project that is connected to MAX7219 Dot Matrix Module to display the time and date that is fetched from the internet.
Features:
- 12/24 time format (you can select it when doing the initial setup)
- Automatic time setting (the time will be fetched from the internet)
- Auto timezone detection based on the IP location.
- Current weather display in your city (no setup needed)
- Random fun facts, will be shown every 3 minutes.
First time setup:
- Get open weather API key from here: https://openweathermap.org/api and place it in the APIKEY section in the code.
- When you turn on the clock for the first time, it will show AP mode (access point mode) on the display the first time you turn it on.
- Connect to the clock using your phone or tablet by searching for wifi network called "Wifi Clock".
- A setup page should open and you should select the wifi notwork that the clock will connect to and enter the password.
- choose the time format that you prefer.
- Setup is done...
