Hello,
I’ll use my historical data in the charts area, but it seems, the format is the raw long number from the originally Mariadb- (Mysql-) timestamp:
(How) can I format it to an human readable format? I’d not found any documentation for it.
Sincerely
Jens

I don’t think you can. At least not directly.
You might be able to use a String Item and a rule to format the data before it gets saved to persistence as a String. You won’t be able to chart that on a graph but it should work for a data table.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply :-).
So I`ll build my own webpages to get the data. When you ‘ll not close this thread, I’ll put an example of one page here in the next weeks.
Sincerely
Jens

HtmlRequestDatum.txt (3.2 KB)
Hello,
as suggested, I post a example to get the OpenHab-Data from
a MariaDB- (or MySQL-DB),
with the OpenHab-Persistence-API,
Javascript
and Ajax
to format the raw MySQL-Date-Format to a human readable output to a HTML-Page.
Fill the [Variables] in the appended text file with your data,
rename the file to *.htm,
Put this HTML-Page on your OpenHab-Server in the Directory
[YourOpenHabBasis]/conf/html/static/
and start it in a Browser with the URL
http[s]://[query4OHServer]/static/HtmlRequestDatum.htm?item=[YourItemName]&datumVon=[YourStartDate]
You need
your OH-Server,
a ItemName [YourItemName] and
your API-Token
to test the page.
It’s a very simple working example, you can extend it with OpenHab-Persistence-API-parameters, CSS-Styles and so on.
I hope, the snippet has no bugs- I can’t test it…
Sincerely
Jens
