Hi,

I want to build a dashboard. Usually I use the text node to visualize my states. Is there any chance to show the timestamp of the last changing of the state? I mean something like this app:

In the Function node, write

Function 1  
let date = new Date();  
flow.set("date", date);

Function 2  
let FullYear = flow.get("date").getFullYear();  
let getMonth = flow.get("date").getMonth();  
let getDate = flow.get("date").getDate();  
let getHours = flow.get("date").getHours();  
let getMinutes = flow.get("date"). getMinutes();
