How to set 12-Hour AM/PM Clock

From version 6.0.5 onwards, a 12-hour clock in AM/PM format can be created using API 5.0.

This can be done using the POST command.

API for creating Tile with clock in AM/PM:

POST : http://{{ip_address}}:{{port}}/api/5.0/tiles/config/.json

Body Structure

The below body creates AM/PM clock in Upcase. "variant": "Digital AM/PM - Upcase",

For AM/PM without Upcase, please change "variant": "Digital AM/PM"

The clock created through the API can be seen on the MCS and MCM9000 GUI as below.

Note: This example shows clock created for type “Black and white digital clock - AM/PM”. The same can be done for other clocks as well just by editing the “variant“ field with siffix AM/PM or AM/PM - Upcase for Upcase.

For example, if you prefer an analog clock without upcase in AM/PM format the variant field should be specifed as "variant": "Analog - AM/PM". For a 24Hr clock it would be "variant": "Analog"
