The clock only works paired to an Echo. Mike Janofsky’s integration lets Home Assistant drive it instead: the LED ring shows Assist and Home Assistant timers, and the time is re-synced every 30 minutes. Nothing on the clock is modified and nothing touches Amazon’s servers.

- The creator used Claude Code to reverse engineer the clock's Bluetooth protocol and to build the Home Assistant integration and a kiosk satellite plugin.
- caveats
- New and small: tested on one clock with Home Assistant Container on a Raspberry Pi 3B. Needs a Bluetooth Classic adapter within about 10 m of the Home Assistant host; BLE proxies will not work. The clock works with one controller at a time.
