Try to get my eztimer to get payload.ontime 22:22 example. Right now that work ok if you move sliders same time and move first hour and after that minute slider. But if you move them different time, eztimer get only hour or only minute value.
Hopefully someone can help me what kind nodes i get this working property easiest way.

You can joined the messages as a object and then concat the object using a function node or a change node.
I did notice that your change node look aged with missing items in dropdown, so the change node may not work if your node-red is old. if so update node-red or use a function node.

My nodered is working Hass io and be add-on that Hass io (home assistant). Dont know exact version number what hass io right now using. Here i think you see version number: [Home Assistant Community Add-on: Node-RED - Home Assistant OS - Home Assistant Community](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/home-assistant-community-add-on-node-red/55023)
My sliders look this, and if debug that sliders i get this kind of message:

you need to set topic in sliders to "hour" and "minute".

then do it directly after edit event node with a change node, set msg.topic to string "hour".
