I’ve an item linked to the Network UPS Tools binding which returns the number of seconds of UPS battery power remaining. The Item definition looks like this:
Number UPS_house_runtime "UPS battery runtime [%.0fs]" {networkupstools="house:battery.runtime"}
It would be much more user-friendly to display the number of minutes remaining. I could do this with a rule that captures every update of this Item, divides it by 60 and then updates another Item with the result. That feels messy and inefficient - is there a neater way I am missing?
Ah, yes - I tried that but it just displays the figure in seconds. Perhaps the binding has to be updated to indicate that the raw unit is in seconds? Or is there a well I can tell the item definition to convert from seconds?

can you explain how whe can inside rule converting secondes to minutes, my goal is to send 90secondes to 1minutes30 fo exemple to somes voice assistant, i don’t want to have a finished reply but a wire to make myself , i thing is very important to doing by meself , thanks in advance
