I've implemented functionality to control the timer and timer interrupt facilities of PCF8563. For this I added the following functions to class RTC_PCF8563:
void enableCountdownTimer(PCF8563TimerClockFreq clkFreq, uint8_t numPeriods);
void disableCountdownTimer(void);
void enableCountdownTimerInt(bool pulse);
void disableCountdownTimerInt(void);
uint8_t getAndClearIntFlags(void);
Also added required definitions in RTClib.h.
This does not cover functionality of alarms and alarm interrupt. Adafruit's own PCF8563 breakout doesn't expose the INT pin, but this might be useful for other boards that ise the functionality or in the future if Adafruit produces a breakout board that exposes the INT pin.
I've successfully tested all the added functionality on a PCF8563 breakout from ANGEEK connected to an arduino UNO. Examples are not included. I'm happy to add any if required.
