World Clock ​

A world clock card shows the current local time for a selected city. The large value is the time, and the label underneath is the city name.

World clock cards are read-only — tapping them does nothing. They do not need a Home Assistant entity; the panel uses its own synced time source.

Setting Up a World Clock Card ​

  1. Select a card and change its type to Date & Time.
  2. Set Type to World Clock.
  3. Choose the city/timezone from the City / Timezone dropdown.
  4. Apply the configuration so the panel restarts with the new card.

How It Works on the Panel ​

  • The dropdown uses the same city/timezone list as the main Time Settings setting.
  • The card follows the panel's 12-hour or 24-hour clock format.
  • The time updates once per minute from the panel's own synced time source.
  • The card uses the tertiary colour from Appearance, like Sensor, Date, and Weather cards.
  • If the panel has not synced time yet, the card shows --:-- until time becomes available.
  • Older backups or logs may still refer to this as timezone. That is the internal saved name for the same World Clock card, kept so existing cards continue to load.

Firmware support

The setup page and the panel firmware both need to know about this card type. If the setup page lets you create a World Clock card but the panel itself does not show the clock after applying the configuration, install the latest firmware update.
