I have been tinkering with new Belchertown 1.0.1 skin and I'm really impressed by all capabilities. It must have been a major task developing such a feature rich and robust solution.

Thank's a lot to Pat O'Brien!

Date and time is currently output in the format of June 26, 2019, 7:57:00 PM, but I want it to be changed to something like 26. June 2019, 19:67:00.

How do I change this?
Do I modify weewx.conf or an other .conf file?

Thanks! Glad you like it. You can modify the date time easily. Check out this section of the readme.

The skin is heavy on JavaScript so I rely on a library that helps with the date formatting. Details are in that section.

I tried using the format string "dddd DD MMM HH:mm" for time_mqtt_websockets_last_updated and it changed the format but it does not update the time with the MQTT updates. When I changed it back to "LL, LTS" the time updates with MQTT update.

Pretty sure that a bug that I've committed to the development branch and will be fixed in the next version. I'll test this to confirm.

Perfect!

Used the moments.js documentation and now I'm ok.

Thank's a lot!
