Time drift on internet disconnected tablet #19

When firewalling home assistant tablets display tablets, especially in Fire HD tablets running FireOS, the local device time can be off by several minute due to drift and therefore inconsistent with automations.

Currently my Fire HD tablets are off by 4 minutes, and NTP is not configurable in FireOS.

Technically this isn't an issue with the digital clock card, but I think there may be interest in avoiding local device time in preference for the home assistant server time. Allowing the card to pull the time from a sensor instead of the browser time using javascript would avoid this issue.
