setTime

abstract suspend fun setTime(destNum: Int, packetId: Int)(source)

Syncs a node's real-time clock to the phone's current time via AdminMessage.set_time_only.

Mirrors the Python CLI's Node.setTime: an accurate epoch-seconds timestamp is sent so a remote node whose RTC has drifted can be corrected without an on-site visit. Fire-and-forget — the firmware applies the value without an admin response (the routing ACK confirms delivery).
