Use a msg.var or mustache template inside get history node for field relativeTime

[klatka]

The mustache template in the field in the last does not work.

Proposed change:
Change get history node to make it work

You can set relative time from message inputs. https://zachowj.github.io/node-red-contrib-home-assistant-websocket/node/get-history.html#relativetime

Change the location of msg.relative_time_string to msg.payload.relativeTime and leave the text field empty in the node.

Thanks, I overlooked the first sentence in the documentation. I already use payload for something else. I need to back up the payload before using the get history node and then set it back to its original value. A mustache template would be easier - maybe a suggestion in the future.

I found that the attributes last_changed and last_updated are set to the relative time even when there was no action.

This is the actual history of the entity:

If I set relativeTime to 1 hour I get one result showing the state off which is true. But the attributes show the last action was one hour ago which is wrong. This might be a bug or should be documented.
