Custom Sensors Result with Unit and Decimal

Votes:

0

Hi, we are returning a xml result as a custom sensor. The result looks ike this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <prtg> <result> <Channel>Duration</Channel> <Float>1</Float> <DecimalMode>2</DecimalMode> <Value>12,565</Value> <Unit>TimeSeconds</Unit> </result> </prtg> But the result is not shown as "sek.", only as floating. How to show the result as "12,57 Sek."?

Hello,

"float" overwrites the unit here.

As alternative you can use a custom unit string, but this means that no automatic conversion to hours etc.
