So I was just wondering if it were possible to have the RA check the time server periodically to check the time and set the head unit if it is off or for DST.

I'm sure there's a way. I don't know if we have the ability to query ntp as of now. I think its doable with the ethernet class but I think you need an actual ethernet module.

Roberto maybe you could expose a script we could run to tel the ra if DST is active or not, I just don't know if we actually can get/read the result.

If you want to contribute and update the libraries, it is definitely doable.

Would it be easier for either the android or iOS to check the current time and set it automatically that way than having to write another class for the wifi module?

To change the time on RA is also just one button from the app. This would also only be required twice a year.
Not so sure the time required to add the functionality would justify.

Very true Roberto. I'm just forgetful of the time updates as almost everything I have does it automatically. Was just throwing out the idea. No biggie if we dont incorporate it.
