AWTRIX NG
Posted: Saturday 10 October 2026 10:52
Hi all,
I wrote a script for the AWTRIX NG firmware (the Ulanzi / 52x16 clocks) that turns the panel into a small animated picture of your Domoticz house. It reads the normal Domoticz JSON API, so there's no plugin or MQTT bridge to set up.

What it shows
• Grid: pulses run into the house while you're buying power. They turn green and run back out to the left while you're selling. A still cable means a quiet house.
• Solar: a beam of light runs from the sun down onto the roof. It's brighter and faster the more you generate.
• Battery: a cell on the right, filled by charge level (green, amber, red). A spark climbs while it charges and falls while it drains.
• EV charger: a car on the left takes a lead from the house while it charges.
• Gas and water: gas rises up the riser and leaves as chimney smoke. Water runs down the pipe while it's really flowing.
• Weather, from your own sensors: cloud cover dims the sky and hides the sun above about 2/3. Rain falls across the picture and leans with the wind. Below freezing it turns to snow and the grass goes white.
• Rooms: windows light up for lamps that are on and flicker on motion. A door contact left open turns amber and pulses.
Everything is optional. With only a thermometer you still get a house, a sun and a number.
