Change dateformat shown on screen ?

[TokTias]

Hi !
Is there any possibility to change the date format (currently set to the US-standard MM/DD + weekday), preferably definable via a Console command ? (Personally, I am looking to get it to YYYY-MM-DD + the weekday abbreviation.)

Cheers !

No, the firmware is getting the date via a json command, so there is no way to change it with the stock display firmware.

Shameless plug for my HMI Project, you can display whatever date format you want with it, if you are on HomeAssistant, ioBroker (or ip-symcon) there are Integrations available.

If you are using some different automation system and you have some scripting/programming skills and you want to integrate it with your system, feel free to ask and I will guide you how to get stared with the message protocol the panel is expecting with my project.

(Acually there was also somebody who build something for domoticz, but I don't think that it is public, you might want to reach out to him in case you are using domoticz)

Hi !
Thanks for your fast reply. I use domoticz and I do have C/C++ and scripting experience for a few decades. I have also been coding for the Nextion screens so I was perhaps just hoping for a simple way to write directly to the Text label showing the date from the ESP-code, perhaps just set up a timer that sends the year/month/day and weekday from the RTC to the Nextion Txt label.
(I'll see if I can find the person you mentioned that made something for domoticz.)

See these two for the domoticz stuff:

I summerizesed the first part of getting something to work with my HMI here: joBr99/nspanel-lovelace-ui#436 (comment)

Hit me up on Unofficial Nextion Discord, I guess that would be easier. https://discord.gg/98V7qp4
