I updated ewelin cast today and discovered a glitch in the clock screensaver. The time is not displayed correctly. while the real time is 23:50, it shows 2:5:… please correct!!!

[ward]

Hey

Thx for the feedback. I have reported this issue to our team

UPDATE:

A fix is coming.

[yitie]

Will release a fix version later today.
The team also replicated the issue on some tablets after setting text font to bold.

[jonniugr]

One more note and please correct it. We are talking about updating the page. Now I don’t have to re-open the page to reload and this is a plus, but with the new update I lost quick access to the panel, I have to wait about 5 seconds until the page loads and I can control the devices. And since I often open the door from the cast panel, this brings great inconvenience!!! It is necessary that the page be updated, but the ability to quickly access devices is not lost. Until you figure out how to solve this, it’s better to return everything as it was!!!
