Enviro Grow and Enviro Indoor both cannot sync time

[brett-wolf]

Hi!

I have a new Enviro Grow that I am trying to set up. On first try, I got a red flashing light and no connection to wifi. In the logs I was seeing a problem with synching the time.
So I updated the UF2 file to pimoroni-enviro-v1.22.2-micropython-enviro-v0.2.0.uf2
I ran the setup again, same issue. Here are the logs :

If I reset the board with the button, it goes back to the same error.
I have double and triple checked my wifi password. My config.py is as follows :

# enviro config file

# you may edit this file by hand but if you enter provisioning mode
# then the file will be automatically overwritten with new details

provisioned = True

# enter a nickname for this board
nickname = 'ivor'

# network access details
wifi_ssid = 'SilenceOfTheLAN'
wifi_password = 'PASSWORD'
wifi_country = 'GB'

# how often to wake up and take a reading (in minutes)
reading_frequency = 15

# how often to trigger a resync of the onboard RTC (in hours)
resync_frequency = 168

# where to upload to ("http", "mqtt", "adafruit_io", "influxdb")
destination = 'adafruit_io'

# how often to upload data (number of cached readings)
upload_frequency = 1

# web hook settings
custom_http_url = ''
custom_http_username = ''
custom_http_password = ''

# mqtt broker settings
mqtt_broker_address = ''
mqtt_broker_username = ''
mqtt_broker_password = ''
# mqtt broker if using local SSL
mqtt_broker_ca_file = None

# adafruit ui settings
adafruit_io_username = 'MYUSER'
adafruit_io_key = 'KEY'

# influxdb settings
influxdb_org = ''
influxdb_url = ''
influxdb_token = ''
influxdb_bucket = ''

# grow specific settings
auto_water = False
moisture_target_a = 50
moisture_target_b = 0
moisture_target_c = 0

# compensate for usb power
usb_power_temperature_offset = 4.5

I thought it might be an issue with this board, so I tried the Enviro Indoor that I ordered at the same time.
I get the exact same issue with that!

I even tried updating the NTP server. I thought it might be because I am using the boards in the US.
So I updated ntp.py as follows :
ntp_host = "us.pool.ntp.org"

No dice.
