HC3 Lua Time conversion into string / sunrise and sunset into string

[kauf5mx 0]

I would like to handle the current time in a string form as in HC2.

How can I program following HC2 Lua commands:

- currentDate = os.date("*t")

- Current time as hh:mm:

     TimeAsString =  string.format("%02u",currentDate.hour).. ":" .. string.format("%02u", currentDate.min)

- Current sunrise / sunset as hh:mm:

    Sunrise = (string.sub(fibaro:getValue(1, "sunriseHour"),1,2) .. ":" .. string.sub(fibaro:getValue(1, "sunriseHour"),4,5)

 

Could anybody help me on that? I am getting crazy not finding anything in the manuals...

Current time:

TimeString = os.date("%H:%M")

Sunrise/sunset are already in a string hh:mm format. Why you need to change it?

Thank you for this quick answer! Cool, it works fine, and thank you for the detailed description. I was close to the solution but I must have made a mistake.

For sunrise and sunset however: How do I get sunrise and sunset time in string format?

How can I get sunrise and sunset time as string such as hh:mm?

I have found a workaround by creating two scenes (one for sunrise and one for sunset). They are triggered at sunrise respectively at sunset and they sotre their respective "current time" into the corresponding global variable. Problem solved.

fibaro:getValue(1, "sunriseHour")

returns the time as a hh:mm string
