A very simple time display with the weather

I made a basic digital clock for the Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi Display!
It has the time from the Network Time Protocol, Light and dark mode, display of a home assistant sensor, and support for 24 hour time!
I was originally going to use the National Weather Service API, however, I ran in to some security issues and instead decided to go with Home Assistant.
To use it, you have to download the repository and open it in the Arduino IDE, then upload it from there.

I added my final touches to my digital clock!
Here is what I Improved:
- Centered Text on the Screen
- Military time support
- The ability to disable the home assistant sensor
- And documentation

I added the date and temperature. I sadly could not get the National Weather Service API working, so I switched to the Home Assistant API to get the value of a sensor. I also added light mode support, alongside dark mode.

I got the local RTC time working and centered the text

I added basic support for getting the time from the Network Time API, and then display it on the screen.
I still want to add Support for:
The local Real Time Clock (RTC)
and adding a small weather “widget” below the time via the National weather service API
