I'm reading data from Load Profile (OBIS 0.0.99.1.0.255, Actaris Itron SL7000).
I get bytearray, convert in hex and get:
07E50A08FFFFFFFFFF8000FF

How can i convert this to human readable date/time format?
I didn’t find the functions or examples I needed.
in Python....
Help me, please.

Hi,

You can convert byte array to date time using changeType -method.
Something like this:
data = GXByteBuffer.hexToBytes("07E50A08FFFFFFFFFF8000FF")
GXDLMSClient.changeType(data, DataType.DATETIME);

Thanks! It worked!
Helped
timestamp = GXDLMSClient.changeType (data, DataType.DATETIME)

Basically I already guessed:
For example: 07e50a06ff110936ff8000ff
07e5 - 2021 (year)
0a - 10 (month)
06 - 6 (day)
ff -?
11 - 17 (hour)
09 - 09 (minute)
36 - 54 (second)
ff -?
80 -?
00 -?
ff -?
