the integration of ntp is nice, but it would be even nicer if the mini autodetects the current timezone.

there are some APIs available, e.g. http://worldtimeapi.org/api/ip

It"s quite dirty to call a public API / or even private one.
There are multiple privacy / security issues that come with that method.

I would suggest asking the user what region they are from upon setup, or the first time before an NTP sync.

Linux style:

That or rely on DHCP, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4833

a http outbound call comes with a ton of extra headaches, like proxy servers, https, exploits, etc...
