Date & Time

A date and time card can show the local clock, just the date, or the local date and time. In clock mode, only the time is shown. 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 and clock cards are read-only — tapping them does nothing.

Setting Up a Date or Clock Card

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

How It Works on the Panel

• In Clock mode, the card uses the panel's own synced time source and shows no date label.
• 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 fixed tertiary background colour, 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.
