Ulanzi TC001 + Awtrix2 + Home Assistant

When I first stumbled across the Ulanzi TC001 on Mastodon, I knew I had to have one. A sleek pixel display that costs a quarter of what you’d pay for a LaMetric Time? Sold. Building the Perfect Notification Display Getting this thing integrated into my smart home setup was a blast. I spun up an Awtrix2 server in Docker, wired it into my Node-Red flows via MQTT, and suddenly had the power to push custom notifications with pixel-perfect icons to my desk. Weather updates, build statuses, package deliveries—all at a glance.

ES15 + Home Assistant

So here’s the thing about the Echo Show 15: Amazon really doesn’t want you messing with it. But where’s the fun in that? Update: Amazon locked this down in February 2023, so if you picked up a newer device, you’re probably out of luck. But for those who got in early—this one’s for you. The Vision I had a simple goal: turn this 15-inch wall-mounted display into the ultimate media dashboard. Imagine walking by and seeing what’s playing across all your services—Paramount+, Disney+, Kodi, whatever—with gorgeous artwork that updates in real-time. No Echo, no Alexa skills, just pure Home Assistant goodness piped through Fully Kiosk Browser.
