Offline Hub cannot keep accurate date time

Let's just clarify a few things.

  1. The hub has an internal clock. It works without an internet connection

  2. The hub needs a source of time on bootup, so either NTP via an internet connection, or set time via browser in settings, hub info.

  3. If the hub is rebooted, it restores time based on what it was last, if internet is up and NTP is available, it will set itself correctly. Otherwise, it will need to get updated manually.

  4. If the hub loses power, it should restore time based on what it last knew the time was, this is not 100% and will most likely require an update to time (either NTP or user via update time via browser)

  5. All clocks drift, so you may need to update time manually, or NTP and other means are used when connected to the internet

So, the hub can and does work locally, offline. Just need to set the time via the browser on each reboot to be 100% and from time to time, double check time via browser on a local network.
