AWTRIX NG 1.2.2

Release of 2026-10-06: the first release of AWTRIX NG for the Ulanzi TC002. It uses the clock's 52 × 16 panel, speaker, microphone, knob, battery and Bluetooth. See Install on TC002.

New

  • Install and update without a cloud: a USB installer for Windows, macOS and Linux, Wi-Fi set up in the installer, updates from the web UI. Starting the Ulanzi app once or removing AWTRIX NG stays possible. See Reset & recovery.
  • Clock with five faces: calendar sheet, ring calendar, split-flap, month sheet and big clock. See The clock.
  • Knob: turn or click for brightness and volume, hold for Home Assistant Voice. Apps can take the knob. See The knob.
  • Sound on the speaker: MP3s, melodies, radio, MP3s from the internet, effects over looping music and a built-in synthesizer that plays music written as text. See Sound.
  • The clock speaks: an offline English voice reads notifications and script text aloud. See Speech.
  • Home Assistant Voice: hold the knob, speak, and Assist answers through the speaker. "The lights" means the lights in the clock's room. See Home Assistant Voice.
  • Two Bluetooth gamepads for games. See Gamepad.
  • iPhone notifications and now playing over Bluetooth. See iPhone.
  • Pictures from the internet: GIF, JPEG and PNG addresses wherever an icon name goes, for example album covers. See Pictures from the internet.
  • Apps made for 8-row clocks fill the display: pushed apps and notifications are drawn at double size, so an automation written for a 32 × 8 clock works unchanged. See The display.
  • Layouts: regions for text, icons, charts and progress bars in pushed apps, notifications and scripts. See Layouts.
  • Sign in to services such as Spotify or Strava. See Signing in to services.
  • Encrypted MQTT over TLS. See Connect over TLS.
  • Home Assistant shows the battery and whether the clock is charging. See Charging.
  • MAC address on the setup page and the dashboard, for networks that only admit known devices. See Connect to Wi-Fi.
  • More for scripts: Bluetooth LE, TCP, hashing, sign-in and layout modules, songs and speech, the microphone, and ten times the instructions per call.

AWTRIX Hub

The AWTRIX Hub has scripts, icons and automations for your clock. These changes are live on the Hub already.

  • Choose your device: pick your clock at the top of the Hub, or let the Hub read it from your AWTRIX. It then shows only what runs on your clock and says why the rest does not.
  • One entry, the right version: a script can come in a 32×8 and a 52×16 version. The Hub installs the one that fits your panel.
  • Everything a script needs in one step: installing a script also installs the modules and background scripts it uses, and its sounds.
  • Try an icon first: the Hub shows an icon on your clock for a few seconds before you install it.
  • Signing in to services: scripts that sign in, for example to Spotify or Strava, are offered only to clocks that can. The Hub passes the sign-in on to your clock and keeps nothing. See Signing in to services.
  • Community: likes, replies under comments, and a note when someone answers you or comments on your work. Signed-in users see a script's code with Berry highlighting.
  • Your browser: to reach your clock, Chrome and Edge ask for access to your local network. Allow it. Safari and the browsers on iPhone and iPad cannot reach your clock from the Hub: use Chrome, Edge or Firefox on a computer or an Android phone.

For authors:

  • The share form reads what a script needs from its code, so you do not tick it again.
  • Made for says whether a script runs on every clock or needs the 52×16 panel.
  • One entry holds up to six versions, for example one per panel size.
  • A cover and up to six gallery pictures, animated covers included. A script brings its own sounds. The icon studio draws up to 52×16.
  • Uploads must run on the official AWTRIX NG firmware, not on forks or modified builds.
