March 2016 - big overhaul... March 2016 - big overhaul...
Version 1.72
- Option: Use a cheap Ebay PIR detector to shut off selectable display's when no activity is detected.
The switch off delay can be set by the user to prevent the display shutting of if a person
is not moving but the display should be on.
- Now the display Night shut-down can be disabled by making both values 'POWERSAVINGOFFTIME'
and 'POWERSAVINGONTIME' zero.
- Fixed temperature display not shutting off at powersave mode.
- errorCounter display did not reset every hour so that's fixed
Version 1.71
- User option to reset temperature min/max memory at midnight

I used a delay of 100ms to give the DS18B20 sensor time to calculate the temperature. But the delay function is
a very bad idea in most c++ code so I finally got rid of it.

Check the function <tasksEveryHour> to select which displays you want to shut off at night. Check the function <turnDisplaysOff> to select which displays you want to shut off at night.
2. PIR SENSOR
Connect a PIR sensor and activate the PIR option POWERSAVE_BY_PIR and the the delay at PIR_DELAY_TIME.
Every time the PIR detector senses movement, a minute counter is reset but if no movement is detected
longer than the PIR_DELAY_TIME, the displays are shut off.
When movement occurs, the displays immediately switch on.
Note: as said before, the clock will function normally while the displays are shut off.
The only thing is you can't see it... ;)

CREDITS:
I learned a lot from the work of Matthias Dalheimer and Thijs Elenbaas who made their own DCF77 decoders.
Without their work I would not have known where to start.
I ended up writing my own code (using bits and pieces of their ideas) so I could understand what is happening...
My code is far from efficient or advanced but it does work and I know what is going on.
