What This Skill Does

The ulanzi-tc001 skill allows you to seamlessly integrate your Ulanzi TC001 Pixel Clock into your OpenClaw AI environment. This skill acts as a direct interface for the device's local HTTP API, enabling you to manipulate hardware settings, manage display gadgets, and toggle advanced features like night mode or brightness adjustments without ever touching the device or a browser. It transforms your smart clock from a static peripheral into a dynamic, voice-controllable display unit that responds to natural language commands.

Installation

To integrate this skill, use the ClawHub command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/felipeouropreto/ulanzi-tc001. Post-installation, you must configure the device connection. Create a config.json file in the skill directory containing { "host": "YOUR_DEVICE_IP" }. Alternatively, the skill respects the TC001_HOST environment variable if you prefer global configuration. Ensure your OpenClaw agent has network access to the device on your local subnet.

Use Cases

• Office Productivity: Trigger the 'tomato' (Pomodoro) timer directly via voice to focus on deep work, or switch to a 'scoreboard' gadget during gaming sessions.
• Home Automation: Set up automated night mode triggers to dim the clock brightness at specific hours to prevent light pollution in the bedroom.
• Content Monitoring: Enable the 'youtube' gadget to monitor follower counts for specific channels, leveraging the direct API connection to display metrics on your desk.
• Global Awareness: Switch between time zones instantly when working with distributed teams, or toggle the local IP display for quick network troubleshooting.

Example Prompts

1. "tc1 set brightness to 50 percent and enable night mode for 10 PM to 7 AM."
2. "tc001 turn on the youtube gadget and set the switch speed to 20 seconds."
3. "tc1 list all gadgets and tell me which ones are currently active."

Tips & Limitations

• Privacy: Keep your YouTube API key secure; do not hardcode it in shared scripts if you prefer to manage it via environment variables.
• Performance: Since this interacts with a physical device over a network, ensure your Wi-Fi connection is stable to avoid command latency or connection timeouts.
• Compatibility: Not all gadgets require an API key; use the status command to verify which parameters are active for each gadget. Always use the tc1 or tc001 prefix to ensure the OpenClaw router correctly identifies your intent.
