SwatchTime for Home Assistant

Create Swatch / Internet Time sensor for Home Assistant.

Description

In version Home Assistant 2024.2.0, it was decided to remove the Swatch / Internet time (beat) sensor from the Time & Date integration, a message appeared in the logs:

The `beat` Time & Date sensor is being removed
This stops working in version 2024.7.0. Please address before upgrading.
Please remove the `beat` key from the `display_options` for the time_date entry in your configuration.yaml file and restart Home Assistant to fix this issue.
