Get time and date on raspberry

Dashboard

hello my friends can i'm wondering how to get time and date to a text node using a function node when working on raspberry pi ? thanks.

You could use Angular and format the timestamp in the text node value input
{{msg.payload| date : "dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss" }}

[{"id":"691636cb.ea6028","type":"inject","z":"5a245aa1.510164","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"","payloadType":"date","x":270,"y":3780,"wires":[["1a4503eb.b9f6c4"]]},{"id":"1a4503eb.b9f6c4","type":"ui_text","z":"5a245aa1.510164","group":"8b5cde76.edd58","order":4,"width":0,"height":0,"name":"","label":"text","format":"{{msg.payload| date  : \"dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss\" }}","layout":"row-spread","x":420,"y":3780,"wires":[]},{"id":"8b5cde76.edd58","type":"ui_group","name":"","tab":"8f03e639.85956","order":1,"disp":true,"width":"6","collapse":false},{"id":"8f03e639.85956","type":"ui_tab","name":"Home","icon":"dashboard","disabled":false,"hidden":false}]

it doesn't work my friend i tried it in both windows and raspberry pi
there is one detail that i forgot to mention it that i've been working on windows and i ve used this script in a function var now = new Date().toLocaleString("en-EN"); return {payload: now}; and it worked well but it doesn't on raspberry pi

i'm sorry it was so rediculous from me not to click on timestamp button it worked fine .
thank u very much

That's likely due to node version difference.

What version does windows have (my money is on v14) and what version node on pi? (I guess V12 or below)

6

no my friend that method does work too but like i said it was silly of m not pressing the timestamp's button
