System date/time setting

[Krzysztonek]

Hi, Having no clue how to set date/time for the system using Node-Red, I tried this:

The orange set date/time node is a function node with the following code:

msg.datetime = new Date();
return msg;

The blue set date/time call-service node has been defined as follows:

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrongly?

My overall impression is that, the integration itself is very useful, but its documentation is very poor, no examples are introduced. So the only way of working is an intuitive coding. Can anyone give me some examples on how to set the parameters (eg. preset mode, heating program, system on/off, manual mode) of the climate control or the water heater in Node-Red, please?

Hello,

you can find the documentation in home assistant directly in developer-tools/service:

I think you propably have to format the datetime correctly.

yes, the datetime parameter in the call-service node was wrongly defined. Now it works fine, I'm able to set the time correctly. Thank you!
