Hi @vikozo

You can convert the value to a JavaScript Date object and then use any of its `to*String` functions, such as [toUTCString](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/toUTCString)

```auto
msg.payload[0].serverTime = (new Date(msg.payload[0].serverTime)).toUTCString()

```

@knolleary  
works perfect thanks a lot - just had to change it from

toUTCString() to toString() to get the central europe sommer time , but maybe would be a better way?

have a nice day
