Hi.
I’m trying HA for the second time. I switched from domoticz to HA for a couple of days a while back butnduentovthe difficulty levelvi went back to domoticz. Now I’m back again this time for good. Domoticz it too buggy. However a simple task in domoticz is impossible for me here. I want to sent a message with telegram, that works. I just want to add the current time in the message. I cannot get it to work. How do you use the system time.
I tried to make an if then else statement and use the else a new if but is that possible.
You can use a template…
....
action:
- service: notify.YOUR_TELEGRAM
data:
title: Title
message: "Message {{ now() }}"
now() returns a datetime object string like 2022-10-18 10:23:45.6789-01:00. If that isn’t want you want, you can use a number of methods to format the output the way you need.
I found that option and That is exactly I don’t want. I only want the time but I’m stuck on the formatting
What do you want the format to be?
HH:MM:SS can be attained using:
{{ now().strftime("%H:%M:%S") }}
Yes. That worked. Is there a way I can find all the possible commands and syntaxes. In domoticz it is auto filled in so you can easily browse through all of them.
