should be fixed now… i need to release older version due Awtrix mdns changes, but Athom is not supporting 2 branches… right now, you should see 1.2.2
See: [AWTRIX 3 | Homey](https://homey.app/en-cz/app/de.blueforcer.awtrixlight/AWTRIX-Light/test/)

Any updates about the use of icons? When using the experimental card I only get a message that there are no icons but I have a lot of them in the Icon folder on the Ulanzi device. I switched my setup from Home Assistant to Homey and did no factory default reset. Can this be an issue?

Just a quick update: running the testversion of the app now. No difference, still no icons visible.

Can I find you on slack? So we can talk there and give it some tests…

@Bckp:
Hello Radovan,
just a quick question. I know that the Ulanzi speakers are horrible 🙃 … but I would like to play a sound for a notification.
I’ve read everything up and down here, but haven’t found anything. When I use the “Flow card” → “Play Melody”, enter the file name, for example alert.txt, and then save this file via the file system under “Melody”, nothing happens. I have also tried to work with a path within the flow card. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Best regards
Christian
P.S: I created a pure TXT file as a test and copied a song from this page into it: [RTTTL Songs – Laub-Home Wiki](https://www.laub-home.de/wiki/RTTTL_Songs)

As being a new user (yesterday I received my Ulanzi-clock) also would like to know if playing a sound is possible 🙂
Also tried some things but unfortunately not a sound (only a beep when turning on)

Do you use Awtrix 3.0 firmware?
It is possible to play RTTTL sound; I think it is noise. The display is nice but the sound is horrible. Please see [https://blueforcer.github.io/awtrix3/#/sounds](https://blueforcer.github.io/awtrix3/#/sounds)

Hello, display is capable of making noise, cant call it sound, current app version does have bug, and sound is not working… working on fix atm…

Seen it and read it more times then I would like to count now. Still cannot get a sound out of it.
In the settings I noticed there is a sound on/off and a volume control. Volume control says n/a.
And while typing I read the message about a bug 🙂

Also I think you are more creative with this kind of things 🙂 Any tips / hint how to get the most out of it 😁

Play melody expects RTTTL, not the file… and when fix is released, it will even play from display 😃

Using it for:
- showing news massages with RSS feed Homey app
- showing in- (thermometer) and outdoor temp KNMI
- rain warning Buienalarm app
- songtext Sonos playing Spotify (using HomeyScript): advanced timing song progression showing the right songtext
- Sonos volume change
- showing corner leds in display when open windows
- solar power + power using
- name phone caller (link with Android phone)
Do not send to much information in a short time. There is a little memory and processor capacity in the device, and it will reboot/reset on overload.

New test version should fix RTTTL sounds:

Can you share your sonos homeyscripts? Sounds interesting 🙂

👍 and not that I did not believe you before but indeed sound is terrible. But still good enough to get some attention for the screen when using a notification

First make advanced flow calling the HomeyScript. The red boxed functions are most important (sorry for Dutch language).
The HomeyScript (serial numbers partly removed for privacy). Use Google Translate translating the comments.
I have made some exotic settings not overloading the Ulanzi device.
Suggestions for improvement highly appreciated (I am not a developer).
