You can use this flow:
[{"id":"5e76b024508a5049","type":"ui_text_input","z":"fd95058a.48e3e8","name":"","label":"time","tooltip":"","group":"6f0450b9abbe27dc","order":21,"width":0,"height":0,"passthru":false,"mode":"time","delay":300,"topic":"topic","sendOnBlur":true,"className":"","topicType":"msg","x":490,"y":1140,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"23f58faf64af6338","type":"ui_ui_control","z":"fd95058a.48e3e8","name":"","events":"all","x":210,"y":1140,"wires":[["efa7ad290e784dd9"]]},{"id":"efa7ad290e784dd9","type":"change","z":"fd95058a.48e3e8","name":"get time","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"payload","pt":"msg","to":"test","tot":"flow"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":360,"y":1140,"wires":[["5e76b024508a5049"]]},{"id":"20f595912517dfd6","type":"inject","z":"fd95058a.48e3e8","name":"","props":[{"p":"payload"},{"p":"topic","vt":"str"}],"repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"topic":"","payload":"","payloadType":"date","x":260,"y":1240,"wires":[["f0ee239196b9bdc6"]]},{"id":"f0ee239196b9bdc6","type":"change","z":"fd95058a.48e3e8","name":"","rules":[{"t":"set","p":"test","pt":"flow","to":"payload","tot":"msg"}],"action":"","property":"","from":"","to":"","reg":false,"x":420,"y":1240,"wires":[[]]},{"id":"6f0450b9abbe27dc","type":"ui_group","name":"Meteo","tab":"5b337e3b.68826","order":3,"disp":true,"width":"6","collapse":true,"className":""},{"id":"5b337e3b.68826","type":"ui_tab","name":"Servizi","icon":"home","order":3,"disabled":false,"hidden":false}]
First inject the timestamp to create the flow variable. Then open the dashboard and you will see --:-- instead of the time. Then refresh the browser page and.. voilà, you will get the time displayed.
I am using NR on Raspberry, and Chrome and Firefox on Mac as browser (both show the issue). Tested also on Chrome on Android phone: the same.
