Example of using NTPClient_Generic

main.cpp

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <NTPClient_Generic.h>

#define TIME_ZONE_OFFSET_HRS 1 // UTC+1 for Germany, winter time
#define NTP_UPDATE_INTERVAL_MS 60000L // Update every 60s automatically
WiFiUDP ntpUDP;
NTPClient ntpClient(ntpUDP, "europe.pool.ntp.org", (3600 * TIME_ZONE_OFFSET_HRS), NTP_UPDATE_INTERVAL_MS);

void ntpUpdateTask(void* param) {
  while(true) {
    // Update NTP. This will only ACTUALLY update if
    // the NTP client has not updated for NTP_UPDATE_INTERVAL_MS
    ntpClient.update();
    vTaskDelay(1000 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
  }
}

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  // Force reset Wifi to avoid failure to connect
  WiFi.disconnect(true);
  // Set hostname
  WiFi.config(INADDR_NONE, INADDR_NONE, INADDR_NONE);
  WiFi.setHostname("ESP-NTP");
  // Connect to Wifi
  WiFi.begin("MyWifiSSID", "MyWifiPassword");
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
      delay(100);
      Serial.println("Wifi connecting...");
  }

  // Start NTP client (i.e. start listening for NTP packets)
  ntpClient.begin();
  // Create task to automatically update NTP in the background
  xTaskCreate(ntpUpdateTask, "NTP update", 2000, nullptr, 1, nullptr);
}

void loop() {
  delay(1000);
  if (ntpClient.updated()) {
    Serial.println("# Time in sync with NTP server");
  } else {
    Serial.println("# TIME NOT IN SYNC WITH NTP SERVER !");

  }

  Serial.println("UTC : " + ntpClient.getFormattedUTCTime());
  Serial.println("UTC : " + ntpClient.getFormattedUTCDateTime());
  Serial.println("LOC : " + ntpClient.getFormattedTime());

Minimal firmware to use WebSockets on the ESP32 using ESPAsyncWebserver:

main.cpp

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <ESPAsyncWebServer.h>
#include <ArduinoJson.h>

AsyncWebServer server(80);
AsyncWebSocket ws("/ws");

AsyncWebSocketClient* wsClient;
 
void onWsEvent(AsyncWebSocket * server, AsyncWebSocketClient * client, AwsEventType type, void * arg, uint8_t *data, size_t len){
  if(type == WS_EVT_CONNECT){
    wsClient = client;
  } else if(type == WS_EVT_DISCONNECT){
    wsClient = nullptr;
  }
}

/**
 * Wait for WiFi connection, and, if not connected, reboot
 */
void waitForWiFiConnectOrReboot(bool printOnSerial=true) {
  uint32_t notConnectedCounter = 0;
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
      delay(100);
      if(printOnSerial) {
        Serial.println("Wifi connecting...");
      }
      notConnectedCounter++;
      if(notConnectedCounter > 50) { // Reset board if not connected after 5s
          if(printOnSerial) {
            Serial.println("Resetting due to Wifi not connecting...");
          }
          ESP.restart();
      }
  }
  if(printOnSerial) {
    // Print wifi IP addess
    Serial.println("IP address: ");
    Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
  }
}


void setup() { 
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.config(INADDR_NONE, INADDR_NONE, INADDR_NONE);
  WiFi.setHostname("ESP-Websocket-Test");

  WiFi.begin("MyWifiSSID", "MyWifiPassword");
  waitForWiFiConnectOrReboot();

  // Start webserver
  ws.onEvent(onWsEvent);
  server.addHandler(&ws);
  server.begin();
}

uint64_t counter = 0;
void loop() {
  // If client is connected ...
  if(wsClient != nullptr && wsClient->canSend()) {
    // .. send hello message :-)
    wsClient->text("Hello client");
  }

  // Wait 10 ms
  delay(10);
}

Python code for testing:

import websocket
ws = websocket.WebSocket()
ws.connect("ws://192.168.1.211/ws")
while True:
    result = ws.recv()
    print(result)

This will print Hello Client many times a second.
