I am sorry, i do not speak or write French, so i’ll do this in English.

If i understand you correct, i think you might like the format card in the [Better Logic Library App](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/net.i-dev.betterlogic/).

[[APP][Pro] Better Logic Library - For Users - Apps - Homey Community Forum](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-better-logic-library-for-users/71876/2)

it has a Format card which gives parts of the date exactly how you want it, based on your locale settings and timezone (configurable through the settings):

(You can type anything you like it in and select the top one, which is what you typed).  
Now, this can be placed into variables directly:

\*Set [variable] to BLL Expression cards  
Press execute to create the variables and tokens.

Now, to get this back to a HH:mm value, u can use this one: Execute Expression as Tag:

```auto
"[Hour]".padStart(2,'0') + ':' + "[Minutes]".padStart(2,0)

```

\*Watch the double-quotes 😉

This will result in the time as usual:

N.b.  
Update to version 2.3.11 of BLL (in test now) to be able to create new variables through the expressionflowcard and resolve a bug where tags are not filled with a value at the first creation.
