Yeah, baby. Great stuff. I want to show my youtube follower count. Like this flow: [https://flows.blueforcer.de/flow/erM3xABvA8Lz#](https://flows.blueforcer.de/flow/erM3xABvA8Lz#) Is there anyway to get this working on the Homey? ---

Does anybody have the problem that the Homey can’t find the Ulanzi anymore after awhile? The clock is up and running because i can connect through the wubUI. But in the Homey it can’t find it anymore. Strange thing that after a few minutes it comes back again. ---

Is it possible to readout the buttons on top? And use it e.g. as a classic alarm clock with snooze option and start / end day scripts? ---

Why is v1.25 still the latest Awtrix Light version, while stable v1.31 is available? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/c/9c089331670c8f601ef077d88e9e624c3eb0894a.png) ---

Yep, it should be possible, author of awtrix fw created some api for me to allow this, but i need to modify app to support, and it is not fastest (eg: delay could be in seconds) ---

it is unclear from the comments and instructions what is the correct sequence of things to do to install properly. I can see that the following is clear. 1. Flash your Ulanzi TC001 clock with the AWTRIX 3 Firmware. This is fairly straight forward and can be done at [AWTRIX 3](https://blueforcer.github.io/awtrix3/#/flasher) 2. Once Flashed connect to the awtrix\_xxxxxx Wireless Network and login with password 12345678 3. Once Logged in on the SSID awtric\_xxxxxx network connect to [http://192.168.4.1](http://192.168.4.1) 4. Once connected to [http://192.168.4.1](http://192.168.4.1) enter your Wireless SSID and password. This will connect the Ulanzi TC001 to your home network. After it reboots you can connect directly to the Ulanzi’s new IP Address. The things that are not clear 1. Do we need to install an MQTT Server/Broker? If so can we use either the Server/Brokers available (MQTT Server by Emile Nijssen or the MQTT Broker by Menno van Grinsven), if you can recommend one it would be great (again if needed). 2. If we only install the AWTRIX Homey App by Radovan Kepák do we need a Broker/Server above? 3. Finally if only the AWTRIX is needed dow we need to fill out the MQTT section on the Ulanzi’s web interface? And if we do how do we get the IP address, Port and username and password needed? ---

I am not sure anymore, but if I recall the app finds the Ulanzi clock on the network and you even don’t have to provide the IP manually grinning_face. ---
