 ## Changelog
+### 1.3.18 (2026-05-11)
+
+- Fixed incorrect date display in the pH, ORP and TDS areas.
+- Time states with `value.time` are now stored as numeric timestamps instead of localized date strings.
+- Improved compatibility with ioBroker/Admin date handling.
+- Added backward-compatible handling for previously stored German date strings.
+- Kept history JSON output unchanged with readable date strings for users and VIS displays.
