Problem with MQTT to Ulanzi Clock / Awtrix 3

Configuration
1

Good morning,

after several tries I have no clue anymore what I´m doing wrong. I got a new Ulanzi TC001 clock. Flashed it with Awtrix 3.

I installed the Mosquito Broker Addon in Home Assistant, added a new user for this. Added the MQTT integration. Added the MQTT Broker details in the Ulanzi Clock/Awtrix 3.

The device is found in the MQTT integration, I can e.g. switch it on/off, change transitions etc

What is absolutely not working, is to send an MQTT notify to the Ulanzi. it seems it just doesn’t receive it, nothing happens on the display.

Would really appreciate if somebody could help.

Thx in advance

Hi, i have the same problem. I created a mqtt user in HASS, wrote the credentials into my awtrix web-UI. In MQTT i can see the device, but if want to create an automation i cannot select the device… :frowning:

Edit: So now i see the device! I just restarted Homeassistant and waitet for an hour or so…

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. The clock is recognized and can be switched on and off. However notifications are not possible. Anyone got a solution already? T

I have connected my flashed TC001 with AXTRIX 3 and connected with MQTT. I get the data from the clock in HA and can send data to the clock. But, when I want to add it as a device in an automation/blueprint, no devices are available… Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

A week ago i started with HA with a clean install, everything worked only the Awtrix3 is not detected bij HA, in mqtt explorer visible with topic offline

Make sure you have ‘discovery’ enabled. Both in the MQTT add-on and integration.

I don’t have any option to enable discovery in mosquito broker in the addons

Mosquitto broker - gear wheel - set MQTT options and you will find it there.

If you’re still having issues with AWTRIX stability and MQTT, you might want to check out Svitrix — a fork where I fixed a lot of MQTT and memory-related bugs. HA auto-discovery works out of the box. GitHub - svitrix/svitrix-firmware · GitHub
