Formatting google calendar start time

Configuration
1

Ok I’m probably being stupid but I’m using the google calendar component to get my next event and I can use something like this

{{ states.calendar.MYACCOUNT.attributes.start_time}} {{ states.calendar.MYACCOUNT.attributes.message }}

to add the start time to the event name as a sensor:

2018-03-20 00:00:00 This Is An Event

Is there some way to format the date better though, so just showing day and hour or something? I’ve been playing around in the template editor but can’t get anything to work.

Hi, you can use timestamp_custom(format_string, local_boolean) to format the start_TIme on your sensor. Here you can find the formatting options you can apply to it Python time formatting options
