Script description

Stays out of sight until a newer AWTRIX NG is out. The app asks GitHub for the latest published release and compares it with the firmware on your clock. While you are up to date it skips its turn in the rotation, so it costs you nothing.

Once a new release is published, it joins the rotation: an arrow fills its tray like a download bar, next to UPDATE and the new version number. On the 52×16 panel you see the installed and the new version side by side. Pre-releases are ignored.

To install it, open your clock's web interface: System → Maintenance → Download & install.

Settings (Apps tab, gear on the app's row)

  • Check every: how often GitHub is asked, 1 to 24 hours. Default 6.
  • Notify once: also shows a notification with the new version the first time it appears.

The middle button checks again right away while the app is on screen.
