Converting time to text

[theniz]

howdy,

I want to send system time to nextion display. As you know, there is no tool for date & time on nextion display. So I need to convert system time to text.

I have tried several times to do it, but I didn't got any success. My code are belows, '''yaml time:

• platform: sntp id: s_time timezone: UTC-9 servers:
  • 1.pool.ntp.org

display:

• platform: nextion lambda: |- it.set_component_text_strftime("t5", "%Y-%M-%D %H:%M", id(s_time),now()); or it.set_component_text_printf("t5", strftime("%Y-%M-%D %H:%M", id(s_time),now())); ''' Could please help me.....

2nd issue is How to send 'dim' command to nextion. I found in this issues's article shown that we could control nextion's brightness through dim setting. then, how I can set dim on esphome?

Thanks in advance for yout reply.
