Data segregation and display in different ui text

[Christian-Me]

I would use a function node splitting your incoming string into two parts using sting.split(“|”) Take a look here somebody had a similar problem:

Separate time stamp and payload from string

Welcome! Your device is sending not so “well” formatted messages but never mind. You can use a function node using the string.split() function and take your string appart: var parts=msg.payload.split(“:”); msg.timeString=parts[0]+”:”+parts[1]+”:”+parts [2]; msg.payload=Number(parts[3]); msg.timestamp= new Date(); msg.timestamp=msg.timestamp.setHours(Number(parts[0]), Number(parts[1]), Number(parts[2])).valueOf(); return msg; Code not tested just typed in on my phone but give it a try.
