A small contribution to help find root cause .... I see normal rtc operation with a Feather esp8266 and the micropython 1.8.6 release. I'm using the same urtc library. Perhaps try with this micropython release? here is the REPL trace: MicroPython v1.8.6-7-gefd0927 on 2016-11-10; ESP module with ESP8...

Most Excellent ! Many thanks @dhylands, @mcauser, and @ernitron. :D I've wanted to get these displays working with esp/uP for some time now. I put a level shifter in the mix as it's likely the i2c lines are pulled to 5V on the LCD backpack which might put the ESP at risk. Not sure that is really nee...

esp8266-20160909-v1.8.4.bin

The MQTT protocol is supported in a built-in library in the Micropython binaries -- this protocol can be used send data from your ESP8266, over WIFI, to a free cloud database. For example, your ESP board could read an I2C...
