Keeping track on when an Item was last updated (OH3)

[5iver (Scott Rushworth)]

I don’t really want the last update, but the one before that.

If you use previousState(true), you get an HistoricItem with state and timestamp properties that represent the Item when it had a state different than the current state. I’m not sure what is returned when the current state is NULL, but this may suit your purposes.

If not, take a look here…

OH3 DateTime in rule formatting not working

In OH3, now() returns a java.time.ZonedDateTime. You can also get the current time by creating an instance of DateTimeType, which also has a zonedDateTime method to get a ZonedDateTime. A ZonedDateTime has a format method that takes a DateTimeFormatter and returns a formatted string… import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter// put at top of file ... iPhone_Andzia_Home_full.postUpdate(aktual4 + " od " + now().format(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("HH:mm,dd.MM")))
