Since I wasn’t happy with neither the custom_components nor the blueprints that exist to interact with Awtrix 3 devices, I created a bunch of scripts that do the same that I call in automations.
They’re not polished but good enough.
Of course, there’s also some LLM-jank in there 
Feel free to iterate on them.
First of all, notifications:
alias: Awtrix Notify
description: Push notification to specific Awtrix device(s)
fields:
devices:
name: AWTRIX Device(s)
description: The Awtrix device(s) to send the notification to.
required: true
selector:
device:
integration: mqtt
manufacturer: Blueforcer
model: AWTRIX 3
multiple: true
data:
name: Payload Data
description: The notification payload. See Awtrix Light docs for parameters.
required: true
selector:
object: {}
sequence:
- variables:
payload_json_string: "{{ data | to_json }}"
topics: |-
{%- macro get_device_topic(device_id) %}
{{ states((device_entities(device_id) | select('search','device_topic') | list)[0]) }}
{%- endmacro %}
{%- set ns = namespace(devices=[]) %}
{%- for device_id in devices %}
{%- set device=get_device_topic(device_id)| trim %}
{% set ns.devices = ns.devices + [ device ~ '/notify' ] %}
{%- endfor %} {{ ns.devices }}
- repeat:
for_each: "{{ topics }}"
sequence:
- data:
qos: 0
retain: false
topic: "{{ repeat.item }}"
payload: "{{ payload_json_string }}"
action: mqtt.publish
mode: parallel
And here’s the wrapper script that sends notifications via all awtrix devices available:
alias: All Awtrix Notify
description: Sends the same notification to all Awtrix devices
fields:
data:
name: Payload Data
description: The notification payload. See Awtrix Light docs for parameters.
required: true
selector:
object: {}
sequence:
- variables:
target_awtrix_device_ids: >
{{ integration_entities('mqtt') | map('device_id') | reject('none') |
select('is_device_attr','model','AWTRIX 3') |
select('is_device_attr','manufacturer','Blueforcer') | unique | list }}
- data:
devices: "{{ target_awtrix_device_ids }}"
data: "{{ data }}"
action: script.awtrix_notify
The idea for the rest is exactly the same.
To not bloat this post too much, they’re all in spoilers
Custom Apps

{%- endmacro %}
{%- set ns = namespace(devices=[]) %}
{%- for device_id in devices %}
{%- set device=get_device_topic(device_id)| trim %}
{% set ns.devices = ns.devices + [ device ~ '/custom/' ~ name] %}
