Hi Arduino Friends :smiley:

I have a question to you:

How can I determine the time, without RTC Modul ? IMPORTANT NOTICE: my ESP8266 should be connetec only to a smartphone. There is no connection to a router or the internet. ONLY A CONENCTION FROM ESP8266 TO SMARTPHONE.

Anyone has an idea ?

Thanks IC friends.

What do you mean, precisely, by "connected to smartphone"?

First of all: thanks for replying, and Hello from Germany :smiley:

Okay, let me explain how I am using ESP8266:

I am using ESP8266 as a local server. I have built a website on it, in order to turn on/off a DC motor. There is no connection to the internet. No connection to computers or etc. there is only a connection to my Samsung Smartphone.

Hope I feeded you with enough information.

Again: the ESP apears as a Webserver. To etablish a connection with my phone, I am doing the follwing steps:

  1. opening my Smartphone Setting
  2. searching for the SSID from ESP
  3. connecting it
  4. opening the browser
  5. typing the IP 192.168.4.1 on the browser
  6. watching the local webpage which I flashed on the ESP

My aim is to show the real time from my phone on the webpage.
