Time sync fails

[markuznw]

Hello, with both master branch and beta I can't seem to have a working time sync feature. It is set by default to time.google.com but even if I change that to another NTP server time still stays at January 1970. Is there anything else I can do to fix that?
I also tried through ssh but there is no ntpdate command

Likely you have dns problems or you didn’t have internet at startup.

also see if you have configured the staticip.conf
and if you did make sure you also setup defaultgw.conf as well :) as i fell for this too !

Hello and thanks for reply @gadget78. I've got both files configured:

# IP address and subnet mask
# The format must be [ip] netmask [netmask]
# Ex: 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
192.168.1.247 netmask 255.255.255.0

# default gateway IP address
192.168.1.1

which is my router ip (192.168.1.1) but it doesn't work. Don't have any idea on what's wrong.

I suffered from (probably) the same problem.
Please check: #1540

Long story short: check the filesystem on your sd, it may be (partially) corrupted.

I have the same problem. First, my time zone is not available for selection (America, Chile, Santiago), and second every time I configure static ip and default gateway at staticip.conf and defaultgw.conf, time and date changes to 1967, even when time.google.com is configured as ntp server.

@MrAndersonMD and @markuznw

I have had the same problem.

Double checked and it is when I use fix IP it looses the time and goes back to the 70's.
If I change through ssh and reboots the time and date updates back to the 20's (2020 🥇 )

Also, update brakes too...

EDIT
Fixed my Time sync and OTA Update.
I all resumed to the staticip.conf and defaultgw.conf.
After changing the gateway IP it all worked fine and even my network that was lagging had some improvements.

Services running: motion detection, motion snapshot, auto night and H264 server.
Video streaming flawlessly.

Now time sync it's working on my Xiaomi camera. Don't know what worked from all the things I've done, but it's working.

If you have an offline install, one workaround is the linux date set command, it's not persistent on reboot without a hwclock sync present.

$ date -s YYMMDDhhmm

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

Works for me
