Hi all
Is anybody experiencing the same as me with the date-time add-on. My date -time add-on has been grayed out on two Webthings I’m running. I guess the effect will be it will not turn on/off my devices at specific times. Can anyone shed any light on this. I’ve tried updating my two systems but it’s telling me I’m up to date. Thanks in advance👍
I had the same issue, but i didn’t have time to look at the log so if ypu can take a look at it
Hi, interesting others have had this issue. I’ve had a quick look and didn’t see anything, there again maybe I didn’t go back in the log far enough not knowing when it happened so maybe I will take another look over the next few days. If I do find anything I’ll post my findings here. But in the meantime if anybody beats me to it , it would be good to know what you find.
if you disable and enable it back, you should see in the latest log what happened
Hi, brilliant, that’s really helpful to know. Much appreciated. As soon as I have I’ll post here.
Hi all
I have now looked at the log and in my case there are at least 10 screens data for the date time addon which is trying or showing its doing something. Alas, my knowledge on WT is minute so I really don’t understand what’s going off. As I mentioned, I’ve two of these units. One I uninstalled and reinstalled and that’s not fixed it either. One thing which does suprise me is I thought ( and maybe they are) these are standalone units, ie not needing the web unless you need to connect to it , for example updates.
Anyhow if anybody can help I’d very much appreciate it. Thanks
I’ll try to take somr time this week to look at it
edit:
got this error from the log :

at what i saw the current version is 1.2.3 who should fix issue, i saw the webthings pr have been accepted for the version 1.2.3, but the addon is still only visible at 1.2.1
not sure if it’s related to all the cert issue @benfrancis
Hi thanks that’s really decent of you. I’ve tried to copy some of what I see but at the moment it’s not having it. Not sure why it’s not letting me, anyhow if I crack it, I’ll put it on here. Thanks again for trying to help.
Absolutely brilliant, thanks Martin. I’ll see if I can get mine updated. Thing is I did delete and then reinstalled it so I’ll see what happens this time. Really grateful for your help. Thanks
If you want to fix it, yo can manually download version 1.2.3 and install it that should fix your issue(btw since the pi didn’t have Rtc(real time clock) it need internet to stay on the correct time)
I am in the middle of something and I’ll certainly give this a go in a bit. Thanks for the heads up on the manual installation ( I didn’t know you could do that) . Have to say, I’ve been using WT over a year and it’s been rock solid so I’ve not had chance to tweak or fix it. Just shows how good it is. I’m running my heating on it and it works just brilliantly. But Much appreciated for your help…thanks
I just made the addon inactive. When i pressed update the addon disappeared. Then the only option was to install 1.2.3. all my settings was still there. Its working fine.
Yes, also i experiencing the same issue with the date-time add-on being grayed out. It seems to be a bug and is not related to your system being up to date.
I’m definitely not alone in this! My Date-Time add-on is also stubbornly grayed out on two of my WebThings. It really throws a wrench in the whole automated schedule thing, you know? I’ve tried updating everything too, just like you, but no dice. Seems like we might be facing a little bug here.
Is anyone else out there having the same issue? Maybe if we combine our troubleshooting brains, we can crack this case!
Thanks for bringing this up, and thanks for confirming it’s not just my setup acting up.
Hi Jackson, are you still experiencing this issue? Of course for me, today, webthings.io is down, but in any case, my datetime has been working without a flaw for over a year. What version does it show in the UI?
