# Set the time

`POST /time`

Set the time and associated config options. If not setting the time the `/config` endpoint can be used.

## Response `200`

OK

- object
  - `sntp_enabled` boolean — Set to `true` to enable receiving time updates via NTP, `false` will disable NTP updates.
  - `time_zone` string — The time zone to use on the OpenEVSE. This has the format `<location name>|<POSIX timezone>`. The `location name` is not used by the EVSE and is largely to for the UI to provide a human readable version of the timezone and differentiate between locations that use the same time zone.
  - `time` string, date-time — If `sntp_enabled` is false this is the time to set. Must be in UTC.
