I’d use a triggered template sensor instead:
template:
- trigger:
- platform: mqtt
topic: dev/test
payload: 'Capture!'
sensor:
- name: "Doorbell Pressed at"
state: "{{ now() }}"
This sensor state will have the following format: 2021-09-02 21:09:12.231825+10:00
You can format it however you like though.
