 The other d.i.y. solutions have their pros and cons. I tried both and used AwTrix for a long time. But the cons are so big (in my opinion) that I started an esphome.io variant  targeted to an optimized Home Assistant integration. The main reason, for me is the Home Assistant integration!
 
-There is a little hype around the Ulanzi TC001 pixel clock. This hardware can be used with **EspHoMaTriX** (with some limitations). You can connect the device and flash it via USB-C. As a starting point you can use the [``UlanziTC001.yaml``](https://github.com/lubeda/EsphoMaTrix/blob/main/UlanziTC001.yaml). Yet the LDR and battery sensor are not perfectly supported. For another use of the hardware see [PixelIT_Ulanzi](https://github.com/aptonline/PixelIt_Ulanzi) firmware.

 ### Use in Home Assistant automations
 
 The easiest way to use ehmtx as a status display is to use the icon names as trigger id. In my example i have an icon named "wind" when the sensor.wind_speed has a new state this automation sends the new data to the screen with the icon named "wind" and so on.

 ## Usage
 The integration works with the Home Assistant api so, after boot of the device, it takes a few seconds until the service calls start working.
