NightMode #16

Description

Synopsis

If the device is configured as a clock then the clicking of the Flaps can get annoying.

Solution 1

When Night mode is on the clock will only show the time with a reduced resolution:

Only the hour is changed and the minutes remain blank.
The first symbol of the clock could be replaced with a moon symbol.

21:59
(turning on night mode at 22:00)
22:-- 
23:--
0:--
1:--
2:--
3:--
4:--
5:--
6:--
Turning off night mode at 7:00
7:00

The change from 23:-- to 0:-- is still quite noisy. Otherwise the Flaps will only be audible every hour.
To mitigate that change the flaps could rotate in reverse and then only "flap forward once" to display the current hour.

Tasks

MVP:

  • Enable the night mode at a given hour
  • Add a way to go to positions by going back (0: off, 1: if closer, 2: always = night/stealth mode)
  • Set the hours to blanks during night mode
  • Disable night mode at a given time

Optional:

  • Allow to change the hours of the night mode
  • Enable disable it through a button press
  • Enable night mode through MQTT
