Current time on Thingy 91

[Tejaswini]

Hi,

  I want to get current time for thingy91 in asset_tracker application.

  Could someone please provide me a sample or hint on how to get it.

Hello, 

My apologies for the late reply. 

You can read the time using the AT command: AT+CCLK? In your AT_CLIENT, simply enter this command to get the output as described in link.

To use the AT command in i.e. asset tracker, please add the following after modem_configure() (line 1015) in nrf\applications\asset_tracker\src\main.c

	k_sleep(1*1000);
	ret = at_cmd_write(ATcmd, response, sizeof(response), NULL);
	if (ret == 0)
		printk("%s\n", response);
	else
	{
		printk("CCLK err: %d\n", ret);
	}
	

Where k_sleep is a delay to ensure that your application is connected to LTE network, i.e. ensure that you get CEREG: 5 – Registered, roaming before calling CCLK.

Here is my output

2019-12-16T11:46:46.018Z DEBUG modem << Connecting to LTE network. This may take several minutes.
2019-12-16T11:46:47.378Z DEBUG modem << +CEREG: 2,"76C1","014ACE00",7,0,0,"11100000","11100000"

Kind regards,
