I performed an 'Over-the-Air' firmware update on my Wemos clock last night, upgrading the firmware to V7. The updater web page reported a successful update. Very cool option by the way,
I have run into some issues with the new firmware. Firstly, I will discuss issues seen when performing settings via the web management interface.
Firstly, 12/24 hour mode seems to be gone. The clock will only run in 24 hour mode. I tried changing it to 12 hour mode via both the web interface and also via the pushbutton interface, and neither works. The clock records the change to 12 hour mode, but still displays in 24 hour mode.
The second issue has to do with the clock displaying the date when you press the button on the clock.. My setting are:
12H mode, Leading Zero Blank enabled, date format DD-MM, Scrollback On, Fade Effect Off.
When using the pushbutton to display seconds, if "Date Slots" = "Bang in, bang out", the minutes:seconds display updates for 4 seconds or so, then hangs showing the minutes:seconds display but not updating the seconds until the next minute interval is over then the display resets to the current hours:minutes display and seems to run fine. This does not occur if “Date Slots” = "Wipe In, “Wipe Out”.
Next, if “Date Slots” = “Bang In, Bang Out” the date is not shown on each minute change. Also,
If “Date Slots” = “Don’t use slots mode” the date is not shown on each minute change.
If "Date Slots" = "Wipe In, Wipe Out" the date shows for 4 seconds as expected then changes back to the Hours:minutes display.
Also, I am having trouble seeing what the “Scrollback Effect” does. I have turned it on and off, and changed then number of steps to the min and max and am not noticing the result. Could be me.
The Fade effect works fine.
I have run into some problems and documentation issues when using the online V4 user guide and the pushbutton interface on the clock. I realize that some of these are probably just documenation changes from V4 to V7 of the firmware, but some (like non-existant modes) seem like bugs.
Refer to the Mode Table in the user guide starting on page 10 of the document.
Mode 07 - 12/14 hour select - as with the web interface this is ignored.
Mode 16 - Blank Mode - clock has options 0-3 inclusive. Document only discusses 0-2 inclusive
Mode 22 - Separator Mode - clock has options 0-6 inclusive. Document only discusses 0-3 inclusive.
Since my clock does not have the PIR option, Pressing the long button press skips the PIR options as expected.
However, then next long button press shows Mode 03 (which does not exist) with value 80
Another long button press displays Mythical Mode 03 again.
The next long button press shows Mode 25 with options 0-3 inclusive. Document discusses 0-5 inclusive.
Modes 26, 27, 28 seem OK
However the next long button press shows Mode 0 with value 2.
The following long press shows Mode 0 with value 2 again.
The next long press shows Mode 32 correctly with 2 options.
And Modes 33 and Digit Test are OK.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
