My device is on a locked down network with no access to ntp servers or worldtime API's. I receive a MQTT message on device boot-up which contains the current timestamp in ISO 8601 format. I would like to set the ESP32's internal clock to this new timestamp, however I can only figure out how to use "adjust-real-time-clock" when using ntp.synchronize and getting the "adjustment" amount I think I just need to figure out the difference between the actual time I receive and the epoch that the device defaults too and use that difference (in seconds?) to adjust the clock. Any insight or help on this task is greatly appreciated.

I think you can just set the clock with

set-real-time-clock

Thank you floitsch - it works on device Funny enough, when I was attempting that method using "jag simulate" to run the program, doing "Time.now" did not return the updated time. Thought I was going crazy but might just be a difference with how a simulated vs real jag instance behaves.

The simulated device is just running a host version of the Jaguar snapshot. Calling it "simulate" is pretty misleading.

It simulates the Jaguar experience, not the ESP32 chip 😎

thank you both for the clarification 🙏
