Hello,
I’m using openHAB 2.4 and looking at the NTP binding documentation here:
My things and items are defined per the documentation and listed below.
ntp.things
ntp:ntp:demo [ hostname="us.pool.ntp.org", refreshInterval=60, refreshNtp=30 ]
ntp.items
DateTime Date "Date [%1$tA, %1$td.%1$tm.%1$tY %1$tH:%1$tM]" { channel="ntp:ntp:demo:dateTime" }
Am I missing something or should the Java documentation for formatting link point to:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html
Right now it doesn’t seem appropriate as it it points following which doesn’t seem to work for me.
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
Regards,
Burzin

That link results in a 404 error.
The second one (SimpleDateFormat (Java Platform SE 6) ) is correct.
Oops poor copy and paste.
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.html
The above should work. My point is this the following table doesn’t produce usable results-- at least for me. Before updating the wiki, I’d like a sanity check. Perhaps my installation is wack somehow.
Regard,s

You’ll need to define what you mean by “doesn’t work”. Maybe include the actual result that you’re thinking is wrong…
Hi,
I want my sitemap to display the date and time like this:
This configuration gets me there
default.sitemap
sitemap default label="My Home" {
Frame label="Current Date and Time" {
Text item=Date
}
}
ntp.things
ntp:ntp:demo [ hostname="us.pool.ntp.org", refreshInterval=60, refreshNtp=30 ]
ntp.items
DateTime Date "[%1$tA, %1$tB %1$td, %1$tY — %1$tl:%1$tM %1$tp]" { channel="ntp:ntp:demo:dateTime" }
However, if I follow [https://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html ,
ntp.items looks like this:
DateTime Date "[%1$tE, %1$tM %1$td, %1$ty — %1$th:%1$tm %1$ta]" { channel="ntp:ntp:demo:dateTime" }
Translated that should equate to:
`E` Day in week [Text] - Example `Saturday` ; `Sat`
`M` Month in year [Month] - Example `January` ; `Jan` ; `01`
`d` Day in month [Number] - Example `5`
`y` Year [Year] - Example '2019` ; `19`
—
`h` Hour in am/pm (1-12) [Number]- Example '8`
`m` Minute in hour [Number] - Example `05`
`a` Am/pm marker [Text] - Example `PM`
Instead of the desired output, I get this:

You’re right, that’s a defect in the README. The original OH1 README correctly points to the Formatter class instead of the SimpleDateFormat class.
Hi,
I created an update request at: https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/pull/6807
