A Cuckoo Clock, but Digital - Cuckoo in Home Assistant

Since I absolutely detest the ticking of clocks, a cuckoo clock is not welcome in my house. That sound of gears turning, or even worse, the ticking away of every second, brrr. Fortunately, this is a cuckoo clock that can be switched off, as I’ve built it into Home Assistant. The clock has been cuckooing to my satisfaction for about five years now, without the need to wind it up.
