systemsensor Plugin uptime in days

---

Hello all,
might it be possible that someone can add the possibility for manually changing the format of the uptime in the system sensor plugin?
Sth.like

XXX days xxx hours XXX minutes XXX seconds

I would prefer.
Right now it is only possible to see the hours but it would be nice to see days after 24h.

Thanks

It might, however, I gave up on this. The package used by pimatic for conversion is human-format. As the maintainer is suggesting it might also be possible to use a different package for time formats such as moment.js - http://momentjs.com/

Apart from this you there are also work-around sollutions like Uptime ShellSensor if that is good enough -https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/652/system-uptime

@mwittig I know about the script but I try to usw more and more only the Plugins that in case of a new pi setup it is much faster only copy and paste the config not also scripts

But thanks anyway for your answer can be closed

In itself it is not too difficult though. We could create a new variable uptime_dhm
In javascript:

function uptime_dhm(seconds)
{
var numdays = Math.floor(seconds / 86400);
var numhours = Math.floor((seconds % 86400) / 3600);
var numminutes = Math.floor(((seconds % 86400) % 3600) / 60);
return numdays + " days " + numhours + " hours " + numminutes + " minutes "
//var numseconds = ((seconds % 86400) % 3600) % 60;
//return numdays + " days " + numhours + " hours " + numminutes + " minutes " + numseconds + " seconds"

But that’s javascript. Now incorporating it in an existing plugin in coffeescript.
Maybe I’ll try this weekend. Despite my reluctance to (start to) use coffeescript it might be a good exercise.

With some help from @mwittig I added the uptimeDHM to the pimatic-sysinfo plugin which displays uptime like UP 10 days 03 hours 08 minutes.
I also added a variable temperatureF which displays the temperature in Fahrenheit ℉ in case american users prefer Fahrenheit over Celsius.
It is now in a pull request
It looks something like this:

I definitely don’t want to brag about this as it is peanuts compared to what a lot of others do, but I said “Maybe I’ll try this weekend. Despite my reluctance to (start to) use coffeescript it might be a good exercise.” and I simply want to report back.

Edit: I didn’t add seconds as it makes the string even longer and who does care about seconds if your system is supposed to be up for a long time.

@Harry-van-der-Wolf Thank you very much for your contribution!

I think this could be slightly improved by omitting zero values.
This would result in the following displays, for example. What do you think?

1 minutes
59 minutes
2 hours, 1 minutes
1 day
1 day, 1 hours
25 days, 21 hours, 30 minutes

You mean if I’m ready for the next level ?

I specifically added a 0 in case minutes or hours is less than 10. That’s also how it is done in the default pimatic timeFormat and I wanted to stick to the standard.
It is OK with me to reformat it according your suggested options.

It is working now like you suggested.
Off course I had to reboot my system to check the proper functioning so I now have to wait another 13 hours to see whether it completely works.

My bananapi is up for 77 days. Checked there. Just made the pull request.
