Date notation on a tile

Month of "What the heck?!"

It is by my knowledge not possible to change the notation of the date on a tile.
I want the notation as in 05-12-2024 but can’t change it somehow.
See picture.

You can do the next best thing, you need to create a new entity either in configuration.yaml or via “Template a sensor” Helper and format it as you wish. My example below is from yaml, if you do it via helper just copy “value_template” into “State template” field and play with it until you get desired format. Then use this entity on your screen instead of currently used date one.

More about formats is here (from Templating documentation).

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      time_date_eu:
        friendly_name: "Time & Date EU"
        icon_template: 'mdi:calendar'
        value_template: "{{ as_timestamp(now()) | timestamp_custom('%H:%M, %A, %d. %B %Y.') }}"

Thanx for this, I’m going to do some fiddling with it.
