Does this flip the clock 180 degrees? If yes, I believe there's already a solution for that built into ESPHome display functions (I remember asking about it before but I stopped using it).

Oh, found it: https://github.com/lubeda/EspHoMaTriXv2/wiki/rotate-ULANZI-display-180-degrees

Every time the clock numbers change, the old one moves down and a new one comes to take its place, quite funny.

Lol is that right? I didn't use any animation when I tried it, just the fade transition. I would have thought the screen flip happened at a lower level but... haha. Just haha.

BTW I haven't had time to update my clocks in a few months. I've been hard at work on some e-ink projects... the wife was getting annoyed at all the Home Assistant notifications on the clock, interrupting the stuff that's actually useful to her... so... I'll get around to it. I expect I have a learning curve to go when I finally do run the update and get all the new schnick-schnack (razzle-dazzle in English whatever the German is).

This is nice, the first schnick-schnack I really like!
