Option to not show seconds on All Clear Clock

[highergroundstudio]

Summary

Add an option to hide seconds on the All Clear clock widget.

The clock currently always shows seconds (3:58:47 PM). For a dashboard clock, minutes are enough and seconds are just visual noise which my wife didn't like.

Proposal

New card config option:

clear_clock_show_seconds: false

Value	Result	Example
true (default)	Show seconds	3:58:47 PM / 15:58:47
false	Hide seconds	3:58 PM / 15:58

Default stays on so existing dashboards are unchanged.

How the option was added

Card (alert-ticker-card.js)

_tickClock() always appended seconds. It now reads clear_clock_show_seconds and only includes :SS when that option is not false.

const showSeconds = this._config?.clear_clock_show_seconds !== false;
const mm = String(n.getMinutes()).padStart(2, "0");
const ss = String(n.getSeconds()).padStart(2, "0");

if (this._config?.clear_clock_12h) {
  const h12 = n.getHours() % 12 || 12;
  const ampm = n.getHours() < 12 ? "AM" : "PM";
  this._clockTime = showSeconds
    ? `${h12}:${mm}:${ss} ${ampm}`
    : `${h12}:${mm} ${ampm}`;
} else {
  const hh = String(n.getHours()).padStart(2, "0");
  this._clockTime = showSeconds
    ? `${hh}:${mm}:${ss}`
    : `${hh}:${mm}`;
}

Empty-state fallback was also changed from "00:00:00" to "00:00".

Works for clock, weather_clock, and weather_forecast.

Editor (alert-ticker-card-editor.js)

A Show seconds toggle was added in the All Clear section, directly under 12-hour format (AM/PM).

<ha-switch
  .checked="${cfg.clear_clock_show_seconds !== false}"
  @change="${(e) => this._fireConfig({
    ...this._config,
    clear_clock_show_seconds: e.target.checked
  })}"
></ha-switch>

Labels were added for all existing editor languages (EN, IT, FR, DE, NL, VI, RU, DA, CS, PT, ES, TR).

Nothing else was changed (themes, alerts, weather, animations, snooze, etc.).

Happy to open a PR if this is wanted.

Hi @highergroundstudio 👋

Thank you for the incredibly thorough writeup — the code snippets, the exact editor location, the language coverage, the non-breaking default, even the attached JS files. This is exactly the kind of contribution the project thrives on. 🎉

Yes, please open the PR! It is genuinely a pleasure for me to see more contributors join in — every merged PR makes the card better for everyone and helps distribute the maintenance load beyond a single-person project. You will be credited in the release notes and in CHANGELOG.md, and added to the Community Contributors list in the README.

A couple of tiny things you can do while opening the PR (all optional, I can also handle them post-merge):

1. Version bump — no need to bump CARD_VERSION in your PR, I will do it at release time.
2. CHANGELOG entry — if you want to add one under a new [Unreleased] heading or just add a note in the PR body, feel free. Otherwise I will write it during the release cut.
3. Auto-close the discussion — you can add Closes #205 in the PR description and GitHub will link them automatically.

If you follow the general .github/pull_request_template.md structure you will find everything you need. Once the PR is up I will review quickly (usually within a day) and merge if the diff looks clean, which — from your description here — it clearly will.

Looking forward to it! 🙏

Thank you so much! Sent the PR!

Really appreciate your hard work on this as super useful and helps make it so much more organized!

Hi @highergroundstudio 👋

Just a friendly ping — your PR #212 is ready to merge from a code standpoint (the seconds toggle looks great!), but the branch is a bit behind main. As it stands, merging it would silently delete six features that landed in v1.3.9.9 → v1.3.9.9.5 (active_state_entity, severity_border, push_notify_data, action_confirmation, cross-device sync, and 12-language warning strings).

I left a detailed comment on the PR itself with the exact git commands to rebase your branch on the latest main. Once you force-push, GitHub will re-render the PR showing only your ~10 lines and I will merge immediately.

If rebasing feels risky I can also close the PR and re-apply your changes myself — you would still be credited as the author. Whatever works best for you!

No urgency, just did not want it to fall off your radar. 🙏

[highergroundstudio]

No worries, I haven't had too much time on my computer and the rebase wasn't working! I closed the PR and will take you up on your offer!

🎉 Released in v1.3.9.9.6!

Update via HACS and clear the browser cache. clear_clock_show_seconds: false in YAML, or the new Show seconds toggle in the visual editor under All Clear → clock section.

Credited to @highergroundstudio in the commit trailer, CHANGELOG, and release notes. Thanks again! 🙏
