Hi all, is it possible to display the local time in 12h format? Also, I see the option to specify the Night screen Brightness, how is that enabled? is it based on a given time? Would be great if this was a configurable setting. Lastly, I've 3D printed a case for mine and added a battery - any chance that a battery icon can be added showing percentage, charging status etc?

For thé battery, i have to check if it's possible to measure the voltage without additional hardware.
For the night brightness it's from 21h to 7h, if i correctly remember the code.
My first approach was to reduce the number of parameters to simplify the settings.

Thank you for this wonderful app. Installed it and works beautifully, is it possible to display the time in 12h format? . Also, in case anyone else is interested, I found this 3D printed case that fits perfectly -

Hello everyone
Great initiative with the 3D-printed case, thanks for sharing the Thingiverse link Manfredo!
Regarding the battery measurement without external components, it mostly depends on the microcontroller being used (ESP32 / ESP8266 / Arduino). On some ESP32s, for instance, reading the VDD voltage via the internal ADC is possible (
or internal voltage divider depending on the module), but adding a small resistor divider (2 x 10k) on an ADC pin is usually the most accurate way to monitor a LiPo cell's discharge without drawing much power.
As for the 12h/24h format and the night mode time slot, André's approach to keeping the interface minimalist is very clean. Perhaps a simple checkbox (12h/24h) tucked away in the config file or web interface would do the trick without cluttering the main menu?
