Update Time standalone

Like in https://github.com/PiSupply/PaPiRus/blob/master/bin/papirus-clock

@shawaj Do you think it might be possible to seperate the clock from the Mosquitto client? Then it would be possible to have the clock, in case the Broker is offline, or no updates are beeing sent in more than one minute.

You mean have the clock come from elsewhere and just have partial updates for the time? Could the client not update the screen when the clock changes?

Hey, this is the part that listens for MQTT Topics, previously defined.

client = mqtt.Client()
client.username_pw_set(username="epaper", password="epaper")
client.on_connect = on_connect
client.on_message = on_message
client.connect("10.0.2.0", 1883, 60)

# Blocking call that processes network traffic, dispatches callbacks
# and handles reconnecting
# Other loop*() fucntions are available that give a threaded interface
# and a manual interface

try:
    client.loop_forever()

I hope that there is a way to check for a change in the time. Just like in the PaPiRus-Clock
https://github.com/PiSupply/PaPiRus/blob/master/bin/papirus-clock

    while True:
        while True:
            now = datetime.today()
            if now.second != previous_second:
                break
            time.sleep(0.1)

Don't know enough about MQTT unfortunately but I'm sure there is a way.

Can you not just take that code from papirus-clock and implement something similar?
