current time in notifications Topic is solved

[DennisBradenton]

Hi there,

is there an option to add the "current time" into a notification?
Or update a user variable with the "current time" (what could later be used in a notification) when Event was triggered?

Well, i got it to work the way i wanted it too with a dzvents script.

In case someone is looking for this as well:

First i created a user variable called "current time"

Then i created the dzvents script:

Code: Select all

local Time = require('Time')
local now = Time()
return {
   active = true,
   on = {
      devices = {'*'},
   },
   execute = function(domoticz, item, triggerInfo)
     domoticz.variables('current time').set(Time().raw)
   end
}

In my Blockly notification i used the user variable "current time" as message.

Thanks,
Dennis

I only have experience with email and push notifications (pushover for example), and in those systems the time is already added
You see the time the email was received, you see the time a push notification is received in the notification application

What notification system are you using that does not display the received time somehow ?

i am using the domoticz for android. If i only have 1 notification it shows like ( x minutes ago) but as soon as i have 2 or more the time disappears.
