    It would be nice to be able to use an NTP hostname instead of strict IP address (for what I hope are obvious reasons).
    This would allow the use of NTP hostnames such as us.pool.ntp.org (tho I wouldn’t be opposed to being able to use pool.ntp.org).
    See here for more info: https://www.ntppool.org/zone/us

    Thanks!

    The firmware already uses a pool of predefined NTP servers, all defined using hostnames:
    https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinkler-Firmware/blob/master/opensprinkler_server.cpp#L2285

    The custom IP address is just for users who want to use their own NTP server (typically their router) to avoid accessing the Internet. It’s certainly possible to modify the firmware (and UI) to allow hostname for the custom NTP server too, but the predefined set of servers are typically sufficient for most users.
