@csierra67 Further to this suggestion, I tried the mpy route but got an error, type mismatch and the device frozen during upload needed to be burned again to recover control
Finally I tried to not set the time and work with the Time section rather than the RTC section with the assumption that the device being connected to Internet anyway, it would get the correct time by itself.
The following example works flawlessly and closes my issue as a reference for fuuture developperssolution.jpg
