This component uses the MQTT API of Awtrix in Home Assistant easily by adding several additional actions.
You can add the component automatically using HACS by clicking the following link:
You can install the component manually by copying the contents of the custom_components/ha_awtrix folder into the custom_components folder of your configuration.
Once installed, go to Devices and Services -> Add Integration and search for Awtrix. After adding it, you will have the new actions available.
You MUST have configured your device MQTT settings to connect correctly to your mqtt server before being able to see the device using the awtrix actions bellow. If you skip this step you'll have "no matching device" message in the dropdown menu of the actions.
Ex.
Click, save configurations and then Restart ESP. You can use default mqtt user/pass but it's a good security practice to add one dedicated to this device in the addon configuration.
The awtrix.settings action allows you to configure various parameters of the Awtrix display, such as brightness, clock settings, enabling and disabling applications, etc.
The awtrix.notification action allows you to send notifications to the Awtrix display. It has many options to customize the notification according to your needs.
The awtrix.custom_app action allows you to create and update custom Awtrix applications. You can create custom applications with various elements such as text, icons, etc.
