/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}

mark out any personal info

with xxxxx don’t change any quotes or braces

from
{
module:

to
}

please use the code block

paste text,
select text
push the button above
</>

I did look at most of the .js but didn’t see where people were putting their fades in, thinking I could just clear it out.

I was in the programming screen thinking I could find something but no.

Well that is weird. Thinking I could start over with config.js for just the time part, copied and pasted the default, saved, restarted and now the time is right.

for the timeFormat in clock, is it inside the
config:{

}
section?

if a module doesn’t have one, u have to add it

	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"], // Add "DEBUG" for even more logging
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: "metric

so

	timeFormat: 12,
