eztime. library for mu nodemcu project.

If someone is searching this in future then
answer is : ( at least for me)

time_t t = timestamp; // + utcDifferece if want to get your local time
String datetime = String(year(t)) + "/" + String(month(t)) + "/" + String(day(t)) + " - " + String(hour(t)); // if needed exact then add //+String(minute(t))+":"+String(second(t)) etc.

Thank you

Hi, these post here appear with a lazy loading
So as u can see above i have found solution. But answering to your question then yes im using 8266 for my project. A bit about it also.
As there has been high energy prices i thought that i will make my own simple relay witch finds the best affordable time to switch on. And from that i started to learn programming again have been 20 years when i last did it So lot to learn.
