Show the current phase and the next transition. Select ❗time repeatedly to preview Day, Dusk, Night, and Dawn responses; countdowns are illustrative.

Day/night transition alerts

Turns the day/night team-chat message on or off. It doesn’t affect devices: tagged devices still switch when it’s off, and the message still sends when no device is tagged.
