Time Tile Plugin
The Time Tile Plugin is a simple yet essential plugin that allows the Smart Panel dashboard to display the current time on your wall-mounted interface.
What It Does
This plugin adds a time tile to the Dashboard module. It provides a clear, always-up-to-date display of the current time and date, making it ideal for the top of a screen or part of a broader status overview.
Once added, the time tile:
- Automatically syncs with the configured timezone
- Supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats
- Displays time and optionally the date in a minimal, clean layout
Configuration
No plugin configuration is required in the config.yaml
file. However, the time display depends on proper panel localization settings.
The time tile uses values provided by the panel’s language settings, which must be set in your config.yaml
file:
language:
timezone: Europe/Prague
time_format: 24h
