I have seen in the config web page that the time zone is detected and shown but I can't figure out how to retrieve that in my program so that I can use it to initialize a NTP SyncProvider for the time library I'm currently using (https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/Time).

Hi,

I already add the new requested feature and will publish new release within tomorrow.

Hereafter is the debug terminal

Starting Async_ConfigOnDoubleReset using LittleFS on ESP32_DEV

ESP_DoubleResetDetector v1.1.1
ESP Self-Stored: SSID = HueNet1, Pass = password

Awesome. Thank you. That was fast!

I'm assuming I will need to read the stored value from the config file and am hoping it will store the offset from GMT as that is what I need to convert the NTP time to local time.

Will publish new v1.8.0 soon, waiting for final touch.
The new feature will provide the complex TZ ( for example TZ = EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0 ) so that you can use directly in ESP32/ESP8266 code as follows

#if ESP8266
      configTime(WM_config.TZ, "pool.ntp.org"); 
#else
      //configTzTime(WM_config.TZ, "pool.ntp.org" );
      configTzTime(WM_config.TZ, "time.nist.gov", "0.pool.ntp.org", "1.pool.ntp.org");
#endif

The debug terminal outputs

Major Releases v1.8.0 to use auto-TZ
d7ab9a9 
### Major Releases v1.8.0

1. Add auto-Timezone feature with variable `_timezoneName` (e.g. `America/New_York`) and function to retrieve TZ (e.g. `EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0`) to use directly to configure ESP32/ESP8266 timezone. Check [How to retrieve timezone? #51](#51)
2. Store those `_timezoneName` and `TZ` in LittleFS or SPIFFS config file.
3. Using these new timezone feature is optional.
4. Add checksum in config file to validate data read from LittleFS or SPIFFS config file.
5. Update examples to show how to use the new TZ feature.
