Domoticz

Hai,

Today I wrote a little script in DzVents to let me know if there was a postal delivery.
(a mercury switch on an old remote doorbell attached to the postal box)

This works nice In combination with a Domoticz off switch so I can 'reset' the ''Postal' state to 'No'.
So far so good.

Next I wanted to know when the delivery was made so I added:

local Time = require('Time')
local currentTime = Time() -- current time
currentTime = currentTime.rawTime

but when I 'display' the variable currentTime with domoticz.notify, domoticz.email or domoticz.log there are no leading zeros.
for instance:

2018-04-03 23:05:14.178 Notification: Mailbox emptied: 23:5:14 uur clearly you can see on left the logtimestamp with and the log message 23:5:14 without a leading zero.

Is there a solution ?

Regards Frank

So no fancy solution in Dzventz(?), I reverted back to the old school programming as solution.

local Time = require('Time')
local currentTime = Time() -- current time
local hours = currentTime .hour
local minutes = currentTime .minutes
local postalTime = string.format("%02d:%02d",currentTime .hour,currentTime .minutes)

Solution / workaround :

Good catch. I fixed it for dzVents 2.4.4 so rawTime and rawDate have leading zeroes when necessary.

Hai dannybloe,

Ok thanks great, but 'have leading zeroes when necessary', do you mean there is gonne be a switch ? yes or no leading zero's if desired?
