Sorry for the simple question… How do i parse a timestamp in JSON to a display of a nice date time? I’m not familiar with it. The timestamp would be 1455661738 2/16/2016 02:05 PM or something like that.

[image] thrash99er: 1455661738 It’s in Unix “Epoch” format… Lots of available methods to convert, many provided on this helpful site: [image] Epoch Converter Convert Unix Timestamps (and many other date formats) to regular dates.

What would the code be in a groovy app?

I believe that most of the Java methods will work. See the lower portion of the linked page…

I’m getting an Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot format given Object as a Date Do i need to convert it to a Int or something?

def timeString = new Date(unixTS+ location.timeZone.rawOffset ).format(“yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm”) That would convert from UTC to your hubs current time zone. If you just want the conversion, drop the location offset

Thanks Mike, that was what I need. I appreciate it.

Yeah, i used the java methods and tried… no luck. When i put the value in the epoch converter it shows the right date time. But nothing inside of the groovy app.
