Hi, I am using Nodered and Bigtimer for my irrigation. Everything is working fine. However I would like to display the date and time of the next run. I was hoping that this could be calculated based on the combination of the date/time of the Bigtimer node (displayed under the node) and the current …

Hi Steve, Thanks for your help. The result is currently looking like this. Is there a way to change the way the date and time are displayed? [Screenshot 2022-08-09 170337]
