I plan to use pilight without an internet connection because not needed for my project.
That a network-connection is needed to get access to the webgui with laptop and smartphone is understandable but is a "real" network needed or is it enough to configure the raspberry as accesspoint with dhcp and no cable wired?

Not sure. I need at least a configured network device for UUID generation.

Configure the network adapter and assign a static ethernet address, do not forget the loopback adapter.
There is no need for DHCP and a physical cable.

I am currently running pilight without a internet connection.the pi is connected to a wifi network.
I use a android phone as remote. the phone gets it time from the gps.
The pi gets its time from the android phone running a ntp server.
but in pilight the ntp is not working. i guess that pilight needs an internet connection to lookup the gps coordinates for the time zone.
currently i run a cronjob to toggle swithes. however it would be easyer to use the build in date&time system.
is it posible to fix this.
Can i tell pilight to use the system time. or manualy set the time zone?
or
Could I download the date&time database and run it on a webserver inside the network. and change the hosts file to redirect pilight to the internal webserver.
Kind regards.
