Date in correct format

[jon00]

I stand corrected. If i untick the "Use 24 HR Time Format" in the Log Settings in HS Setup then the log entries show the correct format dates (and 24 hour times!). Could they make it any more difficult?! The joys of using a product not designed for use outside the market it was developed in I guess.

The 24 hour tick-box was added later as a feature request. I bet that the entire date & time was converted to 24 hour which included the date forced back to MM/dd/yyyy, regardless of the regional format selected on the Rpi. In my mind a bug which rjh should address.

As a long-time European user of HS, I have come across date format problems since the first version of HS.
It is always a pain to have things corrected, as for the camera/recording page, of the HS4 version.
Also there has been no plan to support "foreign languages", for the GUI, the plugin SDK, and for the help files.
I really feel that nothing has ever been done, even with the help of non-english contributors, that could easily been found.

You need to adjust your locales to reflect your location. Do a bit of searching along the lines of this thread https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/hs...-non-us-locale

Thanks. Already tried that. It doesn't work. Log still shows incorrect date.

Where is the date displaying in the non-local format?

These are the most common formatting characters for the date command:

• • %D – Display date as mm/dd/yy
  • %Y – Year (e.g., 2020)
  • %m – Month (01-12)
  • %B – Long month name (e.g., November)
  • %b – Short month name (e.g., Nov)
  • %d – Day of month (e.g., 01)
  • %j – Day of year (001-366)
  • %u – Day of week (1-7)
  • %A – Full weekday name (e.g., Friday)
  • %a – Short weekday name (e.g., Fri)
  • %H – Hour (00-23)
  • %I – Hour (01-12)
  • %M – Minute (00-59)
  • %S – Second (00-60)

There is no correct format. There is a format that most people used to. You could try this to your format:

date +"Day: %d, Month: %m, Year: %Y"

the %Y character is replaced with the current year, %m with month, and %d with the day of the month

So this is driving me mad. I've spent ages Googling. Raised a support ticket. Followed these instructions but still, the date is showing as mm/dd/yyyy. Someone must have found a way to fix this
