#93534 Further to my earlier response I may have been remiss in telling you that in addition to the get hours message there is also get minutes and get seconds errors. I do not see any errors for years, months or days.

#93542 First the Instructable is "Cat Food Access Control (ESP8266 + Servo Motor + 3D Printing)"

At your advice I added "#include <TimeLib.h>" as the first line in the include statements so my list now looks like this;
#include <TimeLib.h>
#include <NTPClient.h>
#include <Servo.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFiMulti.h>
#include <WiFiUdp.h>

I then ensure that the Time library was installed.
I compiled the sketch only to get the same result.
I suspect I have something wrong in my Arduino IDE, I closed Arduino and rebooted my Mac Mini, reopened Arduino IDE and got the same result.

I am really confused as this is the first intractable that has given me this much trouble. I have posted a question in the instructable comments section but it has been a while since there was any activity.
