Product visualisation with example data.

Heart rate & oxygen at a glance.

Your extra display
for Owlet.

Owlanzi displays available heart rate, oxygen saturation and status from your supported Owlet sock on a Ulanzi TC001 or TC002. Free, independent software for your clock. A quiet glance without opening your phone.

Choose TC001 or TC002 → follow your guide → set up Owlet

Free for everyone. No subscription. No extra server.

TC001: USB browser installer. TC002: desktop installer for Windows, Mac and Linux over your home network.

An extra display, not a medical device. Owlet cloud access is required.

An add-on for everyday life

A separate screen
for your Owlet readings.

Want to see heart rate and oxygen saturation without repeatedly opening the app? Owlanzi turns a Ulanzi TC001 or TC002 into an external Owlet display for your bedside table or desk.

Read values without opening your phone

The clock retrieves available readings from your supported sock through your Owlet account. Sleep and battery status appear when available. Keep using the Owlet app and Base Station.

Set up without Home Assistant

You need a Ulanzi TC001 or TC002, a sock already set up with its Base Station, an Owlet account and Wi-Fi with internet. No Home Assistant, Raspberry Pi or MQTT is required.

Free software, your own hardware

Owlanzi software for both clocks costs nothing and has no subscription. Owlet and Ulanzi hardware are purchased separately. Choose your clock during installation and follow its guide: TC001 over USB, TC002 through the desktop installer on your home network.

Optional extra

Display dimming film

For a softer display at night. A dimming film is an optional addition to the clock’s brightness settings.

Look for film intended for illuminated displays. Check its dimensions, light transmission and whether it can be cut to fit.

03 / How it works

A short journey to your pixels.

Owlanzi runs directly on your clock.
No separate server needed.

  1. 01

    Owlet

    Your sock and base station make the available readings accessible through your Owlet account.

  2. 02

    Owlanzi

    Owlanzi runs as firmware on TC001 or as an app on TC002, fetches the readings from the Owlet cloud and prepares them for the display.

  3. 03

    Ulanzi display

    Heart rate, oxygen saturation and available status appear on your TC001 or TC002.

Software on your clock, connected to the Owlet cloud. Internet and Owlet services remain necessary. More about the data flow

05 / Good to know

A few questions
before you start?

Here are the essentials before you set up your clock.

Read the documentation
Can I see Owlet readings without opening my phone?

Yes. With Owlanzi on a Ulanzi TC001 or TC002, you can read available values from your supported sock without opening the app for each glance. The clock needs Wi-Fi and access to the Owlet cloud. Keep using the Owlet app and Base Station for setup, notifications and normal Owlet operation.

Does this add-on display work with my Owlet Dream Sock?

Yes. The developer has successfully tested Owlanzi with an Owlet Dream Sock in the Europe account region. This confirms that combination; other regions and models are not automatically confirmed. See the compatibility table for the documented test status.

Model and region test status →
Do I need a Home Assistant add-on for Owlanzi?

No. Owlanzi runs as firmware on TC001 or as an app on TC002 and retrieves readings directly from the Owlet services. No Home Assistant server, MQTT broker or Raspberry Pi is required. On TC001, USB installation replaces any existing AWTRIX firmware.

Is Owlanzi a separate monitor for the Owlet camera?

No. The display shows available sock readings such as heart rate, oxygen saturation and status. It does not stream video or audio from an Owlet Cam or Dream Sight.

What do I need for Owlanzi?

A Ulanzi TC001 or TC002, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with internet and a supported Owlet sock already set up with its base station and Owlet account. For TC001, you need a USB-C data cable and Chrome or Edge on your computer. For TC002, use the desktop installer for Windows, Mac or Linux on the same home network. After setup, you can control either clock in a browser, including on your phone. TC001 guide · TC002 guide

Which Owlet devices are compatible?

Owlanzi uses the readings available through your Owlet cloud account. The Owlanzi software offers Europe and Rest of World account regions, but this is not a guarantee for every model, account or region. The developer has successfully tested Dream Sock in the Europe account region. A complete confirmed list for other models and regions is not yet available.

Compatibility details ↗
Does the preview use real readings?

No. The preview runs entirely in your browser using example data. It reproduces the selected clock’s layout and font: 32 × 8 pixels for TC001 or 52 × 16 for TC002, with brighter colours for easier viewing, but does not connect to an Owlet account or a Ulanzi clock. The alarm example is silent and omits flashing corner pixels.

TC001: Can I flash the clock from my phone?

For USB installation, use a computer with a Web-Serial-capable browser, such as Chrome or Edge. This page checks support automatically. You can then use your phone to configure Wi-Fi, your Owlet account and the display.

Does my data stay local?

Your credentials are stored on the clock. For login and readings, the Owlanzi software connects to the necessary Google, Owlet and Ayla services. This website receives neither your Owlet credentials nor readings. The settings interface is local; fully offline operation is not possible.

What happens if the connection drops?

Owlanzi tries to indicate missing or stale data and connection problems. Wi-Fi, cloud services and Owlanzi software can still fail or deliver delayed readings. Continue using the Owlet app and base station. Owlanzi is not reliable medical monitoring or an alarm source.

TC001: Can I switch back to AWTRIX?

Yes, using the AWTRIX USB web flasher ↗. This replaces the firmware and partition table. Do not use Owlanzi’s OTA update field for this. Save any important settings first; flashing erases them.

Is everything really free?

Yes. All Owlanzi software is free. You only need your own hardware. Supporting the project is completely optional, unlocks no extra features and is never required.
