Hi, i have the NTP binding, and simply trying to get 12 hour time with am/pm.
This is my .item line right now
DateTime Date “[%1$ta, %1$te %1$tb %1$tY, %1$tl:%1$tM %1$tp]” { channel=“ntp:ntp:datetime:dateTime” }
But, the time comes back as '2PM:16 PM"
Everything i read say “l” (lower case L) is supposed to just be 12 hour number, but it keeps putting a PM on it. same if i use “I” (cap eye). Thanks
In my config I do not get AM PM when using l (lower case L) or I (upper case eye). The difference is leading zero for hours 0 - 9.
Formatting overview here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html#syntax
Is your locale settings correct? ref:
‘r’ Time formatted for the 12-hour clock as “%tI:%tM:%tS %Tp”. The location of the morning or afternoon marker (’%Tp’) may be locale-dependent.
Try to replace
DateTime Date "[%1$ta, %1$te %1$tb %1$tY, %1$tl:%1$tM %1$tp]" { channel="ntp:ntp:datetime:dateTime" }
With
DateTime Date "[%1$ta, %1$te %1$tb %1$tY, %1$tr]" { channel="ntp:ntp:datetime:dateTime" }
You will get the seconds in the time part!
Thank you! That does work, gets rid of the extra AM/PM after the hour. Do you know how i would get rid of the seconds w/ using the ‘r’ parameter? And cut reduce to single digit for the hour if it does not need it?
The r parameter is predefined so I don´t think you can change it, but your original setup works for me:
DateTime Luftfuktighet_Bad2_LUpdate "Fukt bad 2. etg oppdatert [%1$ta, %1$te %1$tb %1$tY, %1$tl:%1$tM %1$tp ]" <clock> (Temperatur_2, TempUpd)
That is odd, thank you.
I’m having the same issue of times appearing like 5 PM:30 PM. It seems to be a locale issue but I’ve confirmed all my locale settings are set to English/United States.
It might be a formatting issue but I cannot see your formatting or OH version from here. 
I’m on openHAB 2.4.0 Release build. The time formatting I’m using is:
[%1$tl:%1$tM %1$Tp]
Just looking quickly, I found this:
===
If you wanted to display your Time in a 12-hour format with AM/PM notation then you would use this format
DateTime Time "Time [%1$tI:%1$tM %1$Tp]"
This will give you ex: 12:21 PM as shown on the Basic UI
When formatting the text, as shown above, pay careful attention to the CASE of the letters.
Hi, I’m trying to format the time with the following item:
DateTime Time “Time [%1$tI:%1$tM %1$Tp]”
But I get this on PaperUI:
01 PM:31 PM
I don’t know where is that extra PM coming from.
Other formats work properly.
Thanks!
I format mine like this [%1$tr]
sunset_time "Sunset [%1$tr]" <sunset> {channel="astro:sun:local:set#start"}
