Consider putting a GPS receiver module in each sign. Then it will simply know what time it is. That would be much more convenient than having to set the time manually, and it might even cost less than the remote control idea. That works great but the unit still needs to know the UTC offset--which may or may not change if the clock is located in an area that implements daylight savings time. You can try to guess the UTC offset based on your latitude/longitude, but that's approximate at best and is subject to time zones changing by political decree. So you still need some way to configure the unit. Regards, Craig Steiner |
