Hi, I’m trying to log (Simple LOG) some text and the current date and time. Using Homey’s own date-variable is not an option as it is formatted in a way I don’t like. I’ve tried things like {{date.Now()}} but it will only output {{date.Now()}}. Thanks!

Hey Pat, You cannot yet put this datetime into a variable directly. I’m getting to that, working on it, but implementing it in an awesome takes some time. What i did is create a flowcard that returns a tag/token. Just run the card with the format you want (Months are capitol MM) and it will retu…

Thanks - Yes, I could do that but I’m trying to use scripting to a minimum! :slight_smile:

Thanks, I’m a bit confused. I created a Better Logic (string) variable (MyFormatDate).How do I update it with the “yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss” format?

Many thanks! Great work! :slight_smile:
