Get the time, date, day of the week
## About
Get the local time or time for major cities around the world. Times are given in 12-hour (2:30 pm) or 24-hour format (14:30) based on the Time Format setting in your `mycroft.conf`
## Examples
* "What time is it?"
* "What time is it in Paris?"
* "Show me the time"
* "What day is it"
* "What's the date?"
* "Tell me the day of the week"
* "How many days until July 4th"
* "What day is Memorial Day 2020?"
## Configuration
You can adjust certain aspects of this skill's behavior by configuring the `settings.json` file.
2 sound files are included with the skill, `"casio-watch.wav"` and `"clock-chime.mp3"`, to audibly signal when the hour changes
Below is an example configuration file with explanations for each option.
```json
{
"play_hour_chime": true,
"hour_sound": "clock-chime.mp3"
}
```
- **`play_hour_chime`**: (boolean) Enables or disables the hourly chime notification. If `true`, the skill will play an audio chime at the start of every hour. Default is `false`.
- **`hour_sound`**: (string) Specifies the file path to the audio file used for the hourly chime. By default, it points to `casio-watch.wav` in the `res` folder. You can customize this with the path to any audio file you prefer.
