AWTRIX 3 is open-source custom firmware for the Ulanzi Smart Pixel clock TC001, DIY matrix clocks, and old AWTRIX 2 boards, built on ESP32. It displays time, date, weather, and custom pages pushed via MQTT or HTTP from smarthome systems like Home Assistant, Node-RED, or n8n. Development has ended; the successor is AWTRIX NG.
Use cases
- custom firmware for Ulanzi TC001 pixel clock
- display smarthome sensor data on a matrix clock
- push notifications and stats to a pixel display via MQTT
- show Home Assistant or Node-RED data on a desk clock
- build a DIY ESP32 LED matrix clock
- rotate custom info pages on a smart pixel display
When to choose
- you already own an AWTRIX 3 device and just want the existing stable firmware
- you need the archived firmware for compatibility with existing setups
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use the successor AWTRIX NG instead
- you need bug fixes, new features, or active support
