NTP (Time Synchronization) Settings

The miniCU supports automatic time synchronization using NTP (Network Time Protocol). Correct system time is important for:

  • Scheduled automations (time scenes, logic)

  • Logs and event timestamps

  • Time-based reporting

  • Reliable integration with external systems

NTP settings are configured in iDM (iNELS Design Manager) inside the CU configuration section.

Where to Configure NTP in iDM

  1. Open iDM

  2. Connect to the target miniCU

  3. Navigate to:

CU Configuration → Time Settings

In this page, you will find a field to configure NTP server.

Only IP address format is supported in the NTP server field.

  • The miniCU NTP input supports numeric IP address only

  • DNS strings / hostnames are not supported

195.113.144.201 81.0.246.244

Not Supported Example

pool.ntp.orgtime.google.com0.pool.ntp.org

⚠️ Do not use string-based NTP servers like pool.ntp.org. The miniCU will not resolve the DNS name and time sync will fail.
