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.

{
    "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.
