 The clock will display its IP address on boot and also by holding down the set button for more than 1 second. When returning home, you will have to go through this process again.
 Be sure if you are using this clock as a travel clock to NOT use Home Assistant as a time source (it doesn't by default anyways).
 
-There does appear to be some errors with "Component preferences took a long time for an operation" but it only happens when saving persistent variables to flash and doesn't seem to affect functionality, unless you try to change a variable during this moment.

-There's only one useable button on this clock but thanks to multi-click, we can use it for a few functions.  I'll start with 2 for now.

-Of course, this is ESPHome, so you can change the button functions by editing the YAML.  There's also a rotation sensor.  Originally it was supposed to allow the clock display to flip 180 degrees but I'm not sure I can integrate this functionality.

-It's up to you how to handle time zones. I prefer to keep my home time zone (Korea) as the one I live in and use the offset option according to the time difference with Korea.
-The offsets I include are mostly for demonstration purposes.  You can use positive or negative values and decimal places in your choices (ie. 2, -2, 1.5).
+### Rotation Sensor
 
-You could set your home time zone to GMT and make the default offset match your home.  I haven't really experimented with this way so your mileage may vary,
-especially if you live in an area that uses Daylight Savings Time.
+This clock has a rotation sensor. It seems to be just a mercury-like bulb that detects if the clock has been flipped. This is functional to flip the clock but you could also use it for other things (ie)
