what it the syntax fot get date from the hub
hour and minute
find sollution
os.clock ()
Returns an approximation of the amount of CPU time used by the program, in seconds.
• os.date ([format [, time]])
Returns a string or a table containing date and time, formatted according to the given string
format.
If the time argument is present, this is the time to be formatted (see the os.time function for
a description of this value). Otherwise, date formats the current time.
If format starts with ‘!’, then the date is formatted in Coordinated Universal Time. After that
optional character, if format is *t, then date returns a table with the following fields: year (four
digits), month (1–12), day (1–31), hour (0–23), min (0–59), sec (0–61), wday (weekday, Sunday
is 1), yday (day of the year), and isdst (daylight saving flag, a boolean).
If format is not *t, then date returns the date as a string, formatted according with the same
rules as the C function strftime.
When called without arguments, date returns a reasonable date and time representation that depends
on the host system and on the current locale (that is, os.date() is equivalent to os.date("%c")).
• os.difftime (t2, t1)
Returns the number of seconds from time t1 to time t2. In Posix, Windows, and some other
systems, this value is exactly t2−t1.
and sorry post again in wrong thread
os.date("%x") -- returns the date.
os.clock is for the running time of the script.

this can cause weird bugs.
imagine getting the time 1miliseconds before 12:00.
you call %H - returns 11.
next you call %M - returns 00.
now you run late for 1 hour.
always use 1 call when possible.
%X - returns the date.
%x - returns the time.
check the reference manual for all the others.
