ULANZI TC001 Smart Pixel Clock - Social Media Counter - Digital Alarm Clock with Weather - Awtrix Simulator - Retro Pixel Art Scoreboard Pomodoro Clock Bedside Gaming Room & Office Decor, White

Firstly, I had this thing powered on for about 30 seconds before I flashed AWTRIX on it, so I can't comment on the stock firmware at all. If you're considering this you should know it is not a smart device - it's not like Alexa or google assistant that can go out and find interesting and important facts about your life and give you timely updates. It shows data you push to it. If you have something like Home assistant or Node-RED or whatever, you can do a lot of fun things with it if you're willing to do a lot of messing about and programming stuff. Or even a raspberry pi running a couple of cron jobs would suffice. I have it set up to do fairly frivolous things like tell me the number of days until Christmas, the weather, the price of gold, etc. Even my family kinda likes it. It just sits and scrolls through various screens, and from time to time my wife will take 30 seconds and watch the screens go past. It's an entirely inessential toy, but it's fun to play with and pleasant to look at. And quite affordable.

I bought this display to use with my Home Assistant install, to be able to flash with third party firmware and send pushes via MQTT. For this purpose it works perfectly! It was very easy to flash, and has a really bright screen. The customizability of the built in apps if you don't want to flash it are pretty decent as is, and i wouldn't hesitate to have this as a fun clock/calendar/thermometer even if i wasn't using it with my Home Assistant install. The quality of the casing is nice, it charges without issue with a USB C cable, although i think it sometimes has issues charging if you use a USB C to USB C charge cable as opposed to a traditional USB to USB C cable, but i believe it mentions that warning in the instructions, so i wouldn't knock any stars off for that.

The quality of this product is really bad. Setup was a nightmare and hard to understand as it's in a different language. Any of the features are very hard to use can't even set up anything. For Youtube counter you will need to know rocket engineering, because it seems impossible to do even with the help of Ai. The buttons are hard to understand, the screen is a low quality pixel screen. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS!!

Very customizable, allows custom apps to be built through a firmware flash (awtrix). I’ve made an overhead flight detection tracker for it. It tells me what’s the aircrafts near me are. Brightness can be controlled, The buzzer/speaker is a little limited, very basic.

Desk Bling for the Win! Bought this as a gift for my better half (because I’m thoughtful and trying to earn extra brownie points). Out of the box, it’s not bad at all—but I’m a “next level” kind of guy. I can’t leave well enough alone. So naturally, I integrated it with Home Assistant—and let me tell you, chef’s kiss. Now it sits proudly on her desk, dishing out the time, room temp, weather updates, and even a friendly “ding dong” when someone’s at the door. She loves it. I love that she loves it. The dog is neutral but intrigued. Setup wasn’t exactly plug-and-play—it’s a “moderate difficulty” kind of deal. If you’re thinking of diving in, do yourself a favor and hit up some YouTube tutorials first. You’ll be showing off like a home automation wizard in no time. Final verdict: Cool little device + Home Assistant = Instant desk upgrade.

Really cool device. If you’re not in the tech industry you may struggle to get YT stats going on this if you dont know how to setup a google api endpoint. After it is setup it does work well.

This thing is pretty cool. I wish I was able to add other social media counts but this thing is just one of those devices you want to have. It is a little work to get your YT count but worth it.

Incredibly basic out of the box, very minimal customization. Explicitly advertises compatibility with the Awtrix firmware but Awtrix itself is both awful nerd garbage that misunderstands how normal people want to use things (just give me a menu to customize things ffs), and barely even works with the TC001 because the hardware is crap. Literally the Awtrix dev handwaves away any Ulanzi issues with "the hardware is bad." There's a reason this is $47.

Easy to flash with AWTRIX3, easy to connect to HomeAssistant, and a lot fun to play with

é um ótimo relogio de pixel

Si le cambias el framework (siguiendo las instrucciones que puedes encontrar en internet) puedes vincular a Home Assistant sin problemas y mostrar el contenido que quieras.

Devo dire che appena arrivato mi aveva un po deluso, sopratutto per la durata della batteria (si spegneva sotto al 50%) ma dopo un po di smanettamenti e un firmware alternativo ho trovato la quadra e ne sono molto soddisfatto
