:fire: AWTRIX 3 – Show Any Custom Entity (MQTT Only Blueprint)

Hi everyone!

First of all, huge thanks to @10der for the original AWTRIX blueprint:

This blueprint is heavily based on his work. Unfortunately, the required integration stopped working reliably for me.
So I decided to create a fully MQTT-based alternative blueprint — no extra integrations required.

This blueprint lets you create highly customizable AWTRIX apps directly via MQTT, with extended configuration options for maximum flexibility.

:inbox_tray: Import Blueprint

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the blueprint import dialog with a specific blueprint pre-filled.

Feedback, improvements, and suggestions are very welcome!

Have fun building your own AWTRIX apps :rocket:
I’d love to see what you create!

Hi, thx for the nice blueprint. But unfortuantly I do not have the possibility to add an Icon.
See screenshot

Hello There! I have changed it in the gist, so it should work now. Sorry for the long reply.

Technical details:
Changed default app_icon to 0

Hi, Downloaded the blueprint from the link button top of the page. But no change. Is the link correct? or can you provide the correct one. Thx

If you change the app_icon section in the blueprint to this, it will work. Make sure you have downloaded the icon from LaMetric and upload it to you device.

app_icon:
  name: App Icon
  description: "The icon to be displayed for the custom app. Use a valid icon
    id from the LaMetric icon library.\n - New icons can be found here: https://developer.lametric.com/icons\n
    - For more information about icons: https://blueforcer.github.io/awtrix3/#/icons"
  default: ""
  selector:
    text:
      multiline: false
      multiple: false

Hello! I see that the link hasn't changed but this should contain the updated version:

When I create two apps, only one appears on the Awtrix clock.
I want to display two different temperatures.

Perhaps you have used the same app name on both the automations? For each different entity you want to show you should use a different name unless you for example want to show the highest temperature only. If you can, please provide me the configuration for the two automations if what I mentioned above didn’t fix the issue
