  1. Change the prefix awtrix_b6d76c to your own.

  2. Import the flow into the Node-RED as I presented on the video.

  3. Upload icons to your Ulanzi TC001 device as I presented on the video. You can use icons from here: icons

  4. Check the connectivity to your MQTT broker.

  5. Feel free to modify the flow according to your needs.

  6. Deploy the flow onto the Ulanzi TC001 device.
