Reading current time

[Gast]

How can I read the loxone server current dateor time?
I don't find a way to do that

I need to send the current time to my knx button

I only find a way to tick at regular interval (each hour) but I can not read the time of the tick

Hi i am fairly new to this so don't take this as gospel just trying to help with ideas....

I have never needed it nor seen a function for but it looks like lots of things have a <v.t>; which i read as the time of the activity perhaps you could set up a timed pulse for however frequently you need it then use the <v.t> to determine the time then use it in your request?

I may have misread what v.t was for but that's how i understood it. There may also be a much simpler way too....

Alternatively you could built it up using the Hour, minute etc commands....

How merge the hour and minute variable and most importantly convert the value to a KNX datatype?

From an old Loxone example.
The pulse generator triggers every 5 minutes, to send the time every 5 minutes.

But, short disclaimer, I haven't used this to date.
