is there a way in javascript (for node-red) to query the time of the last change of a data point.
The system "knows" this because the time is displayed in the object list.

@franzda

let lc = getState(id).lc;
// Trigger:
on(id, function(dp) {
   let lc = dp.state.lc;
});

@paul53 Hi Paul thank you for very quick response. The question ist how can I access to the ts property. I mien ts is the value I am looking for.

@franzda sagte: how can I access to the ts property.

.ts instead of .lc.

@franzda

1. you insert a node "iobroker in"
2. select your datapoint as topic
3. select object in payload
4. then you select a function node with the following code

msg.payload=msg.payload.lc; //or msg.payload.ts
return msg;

5 for testing purpose you can connect the function node with a debug node
