Date & Time

A date card can show either just the date, or the local date and time. In date-only mode, the large number shows the day and the label underneath shows the month. In date-and-time mode, the large number shows the local time and the label underneath shows the day and month.

Date cards are read-only — tapping them does nothing.

Setting Up a Date Card

1. Select a card and change its type to Date & Time.
2. Choose Date or Time & Date from the Type dropdown.
3. Apply the configuration so the panel restarts with the new card.
4. On a Large card, turn on Large Date / Time Numbers if you want the main value scaled much larger.

How It Works on the Panel

• In Date only mode, the card reads sensor.date, and it also falls back to the panel's own time source.
• In Date & time mode, the large time display follows the timezone and 12/24-hour setting selected in Time Settings.
• The label underneath follows the same local timezone, so it stays matched to the time shown above.
• Month text comes from Custom Month Names in Time Settings, if that advanced option is enabled.
• The panel publishes a Screen: Date diagnostic value, so you can check whether the device currently knows the date.
• The card uses the tertiary colour from Appearance, like Sensor, World Clock, and Weather cards.
• If the panel has not synced time yet, the card shows -- until time becomes available.

The same Date & Time card settings also include World Clock. Choosing that changes the card into a World Clock card for another city or timezone.
