ULANZI TC002 · APP 0.3.2
Your TC002.
Found. Set up. Ready.
One app for Windows, Mac and Linux. It finds the clock on your home network and guides you through setup, including your Owlet account. Afterwards, the clock runs independently.
Owlanzi Installer 1.0.0
The final desktop release for Windows, Mac and Linux includes TC002 app 0.3.2. Automatic clock discovery, guided installation and Owlet setup are all in the same window.
Have these ready
- Your Ulanzi TC002 on a USB power adapter. Leave power connected during installation and the startup check. No USB data cable to the computer is needed.
- A Windows, Mac or Linux computer with internet and about 1 GB of free storage. Python, a terminal and a development environment are not needed.
- Your 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi and its password. Computer and clock must use the same router; Ethernet is also fine for the computer.
- Your Owlet account and an already paired sock with its Base Station.
Check the label underneath your clock. If it says TC001, use the TC001 USB guide.
Connect the clock to home Wi-Fi once
Already connected? Continue to step 3. Keep a working Wi-Fi connection. A factory reset is not part of setup.
- Start the clock. Power on your new TC002 and wait for CONNECT. If its Ulanzi page already opens on your home network, keep that connection and continue to the desktop app. A factory reset is not part of installation.
- Connect your phone to the clock. Open your phone’s Wi-Fi settings. Select U-Clock and enter the initial password
12345678. Stay connected if your phone says “No internet”. This temporary Wi-Fi connects your phone directly to the clock. - Open the setup page on your phone. While connected to U-Clock, type http://192.168.100.1/ into the browser address bar. Use http://, not https://, and do not enter the address in a search engine. The Ulanzi Wi-Fi setup page should appear.
- Save your home Wi-Fi on the clock. Under “SSID”, enter the name of your 2.4 GHz home Wi-Fi. Under “Password”, enter that network’s password, then select “Save”. These are your home Wi-Fi details, not the U-Clock password or your Owlet account. Wait for READY on the clock.
- Return to your home network. Reconnect your phone to your home Wi-Fi. Your computer must use the same router; Wi-Fi or Ethernet both work. Avoid guest networks that keep devices apart.
- Let the desktop app find your clock. Continue to step 3. The app searches your home network automatically. You only need an IP address if automatic discovery does not find the clock.
Setup page will not open on Android? If you see ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED or the address changes to https://, follow the Android troubleshooting steps below.
Two addresses, two steps: 192.168.100.1 is the clock’s temporary setup address while your phone is connected to U-Clock. Afterwards, use the address assigned by your home router and shown on the clock. In your home network, 192.168.100.1 may belong to your router instead.
Android: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED on the setup page
The clock may redirect you to /wifi; that is normal. If the page refuses the connection, these steps resolved the problem on our test clock:
- In your phone’s Wi-Fi settings, select U-Clock and choose “Forget”. Only remove this saved connection on your phone.
- Join U-Clock again using 12345678. Choose to stay connected when Android reports no internet.
- Open a new Incognito tab in Chrome and type the full address http://192.168.100.1:80/wifi into its address bar. Check that it starts with http://.
- Once the form appears, continue with step 4 above: save your home Wi-Fi details and wait for READY.
These steps do not require a factory reset. If the page still will not open, check that your phone is still on U-Clock. More help: Ulanzi connection help.
Download for your computer and open
Installer 1.0.0 · TC002 App 0.3.2 · SHA-256
Which Mac download do I need?
Open the Apple menu → About This Mac. “Chip: Apple …” means Apple silicon. “Processor: Intel …” means Intel. Both packages open the same setup app.
- Windows: Right-click the ZIP → Extract All. Open the extracted folder, then Owlanzi Installer.exe. Keep the whole folder together.
- Mac: Open the ZIP and drag Owlanzi Installer.app to Applications. Then follow the Mac instructions directly below to allow the first launch.
- Linux: Extract the tar.gz in your file manager. Open Owlanzi Installer in the extracted folder. If asked, choose Run.
The app opens its own window. If your system blocks startup, follow the startup instructions below.
Mac: allow the app on first launch
macOS may block this app because it is not developer-signed or notarized. For the installer downloaded from this page, follow these steps:
- Open Owlanzi Installer.app once from Applications. If macOS blocks it, dismiss the message with Done or OK; keep the app in Applications.
- Open the Apple menu → System Settings → Privacy & Security. Scroll down to Security.
- Find the message about Owlanzi Installer and click Open Anyway. If asked, authenticate with Touch ID or your Mac password.
- Confirm the next dialog with Open. The installer opens its own window.
- When macOS asks for local-network access, choose Allow so the installer can find your clock.
No Open Anyway button? Try opening the app once more, then return to Privacy & Security. After approval, you can normally launch this app with a double-click. Apple’s illustrated instructions.
Find your clock, then install
- Wait about 30 seconds. The app searches automatically. Select your TC002 and choose “Continue with this clock”. If more than one appears, select the one you want.
- Owlanzi is already running? Continue to Owlet setup, or use “App updates for this clock” to update its app. Reinstallation is unnecessary.
- For a clock running the manufacturer app, the installer checks compatibility, saves the original resources on this computer and prepares installation. On Windows, the first preparation also downloads the manufacturer tools (about 180 MB).
- After the checks pass, read “Confirm before installing”. Keep the clock on USB power, the computer awake and both on the same home network. Tick “Yes, these requirements are met.” Only then does the grey “Install Owlanzi” button turn green and become available. Click it, then choose “Install now” in the confirmation dialog. Wait until writing is explicitly confirmed as verified.
- When “Restart your clock now” appears, leave the clock on USB power. Turn it off with the side power switch, wait five seconds with the display dark, then turn it on again. Do not press the small reset pin next to USB-C. Unplugging USB alone is not enough because the clock has a battery.
- Wait about a minute. “OWLANZI / LOCAL SETUP” on the clock means the app is running and waiting for your Owlet account details. Click “Check restart” in the installer. Once the check passes, Owlet setup opens automatically. Keep the backup private; “Open backup folder” shows its location.
Ready when: the installer confirms persistent startup or takes an existing Owlanzi clock to account setup.
Set up Owlet in the same window
- Enter your Owlet email and password in the desktop app. Select your account region: Europe or International. A clock web password is needed only if you previously set one.
- Click “Save on clock and check connection”. The app sends the details to your selected clock; the clock signs in to Owlet. If multiple socks are offered, choose the one you want.
- Wait for “Owlet is connected”. For an already configured clock, you can use “Check existing Owlet connection”. You can also choose to set it up later in the clock’s WebUI.
- Open the clock’s WebUI to set time zone, colors and other preferences. The rotary control adjusts brightness. You may now close the installer and turn off the computer.
Enter account details only in the installed desktop app or the clock’s local WebUI. owlanzi.com has no login form for them. The installer does not save your Owlet password on the computer. Measurements appear when Owlet supplies current data; a charging sock may show charging status instead.
Already using Owlanzi? Update with the same app
- Open the latest desktop installer and wait for the network search. Select your clock marked “Owlanzi”.
- Click “App updates for this clock”. If you protected the clock’s WebUI, enter its web password.
- Choose “Check for updates”. The window shows the installed and available app versions. If your app is current, nothing needs to be installed.
- When an update is offered, click “Install update” and confirm the displayed version. Keep the clock powered and connected to home Wi-Fi. The clock downloads and checks the update itself.
- Wait for “Update complete”. This is shown only after the clock reports the new running version. Wi-Fi, Owlet access and settings are preserved. If completion cannot be confirmed, check the clock’s WebUI before trying another installation.
Alternatively, use System → App updates in the clock’s WebUI. An older installation without online-update support shows an explanation instead of an install button.
If you get stuck
No clock found
Check that both devices use the same home network. On Mac, allow the app under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Local Network. Guest Wi-Fi, VPNs and router isolation can block connections. Try “Search again”. As a fallback, find the IP on the clock under 4 – Tools → IP Address or in your router, enter it in the app and choose “Check address”. You can also paste the full http:// address, including :8080 for Owlanzi.
Preparation fails even though the clock is found
Use the current installer from this page and keep the clock and computer on the same home network. Allow enough time for the first preparation; Windows may need to download additional tools.
- Extract the new download completely and open the new app. Check the version at the bottom of its window. Close any other installer windows.
- Select your clock again and wait for the system check, backup and image preparation. Under Windows, the first tool download can take several minutes.
- If preparation still fails, note the displayed TC002 error code and ask for help. Do not reset the clock to factory settings for this error.
Windows or Mac blocks startup
This app is not developer-signed or notarized. Download it from this page and fully extract it. Windows may show SmartScreen; for an unknown-publisher message, inspect More info and, if you trust this download, choose Run anyway. For a Mac unknown-developer warning, after the first launch attempt open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Apple’s instructions.
A malware or damaged-file warning is different: stop and ask for help. Managed computers may require administrator approval. Leave antivirus, firewall and Gatekeeper enabled.
Linux will not start the app
Use the x64 package on Ubuntu 22.04 or newer, with a graphical desktop. Keep the complete extracted folder. In the file’s properties, allow execution if your file manager removed that permission. Minimal installations may need their distribution packages for EGL and xcb-cursor; the build baseline includes libegl1 and libxcb-cursor0.
After restarting: “OFFLINE / VERBINDE”
App 0.3.2 fixes missing active Wi-Fi retries. When the clock is reachable, install the update using “App updates for this clock” or System → App updates in its WebUI. The desktop installer itself must be downloaded separately.
With 0.3.2 and saved Wi-Fi, the clock tries to reconnect twice before offering a five-minute setup hotspot. It then retries home Wi-Fi automatically. Keep the router and clock powered. A clock that is completely offline cannot receive an update; do not perform a factory reset just to update it.
Installation or connection check fails
Keep the clock powered. Do not force another installation if writing is unconfirmed. For account setup, check email, password, account region and the optional clock web password. Keep your backup private and ask for help with the displayed message.
TC002 questions & answers
Can I install directly over USB in my browser?
The TC002 installer connects over your home network. This website’s USB flasher is for TC001 only. Never install TC001 files on a TC002. This procedure needs neither a USB stick nor a USB data connection to the computer.
Does my computer need to stay on?
No. After setup, Owlanzi runs directly on the TC002 and starts automatically after a restart. The clock still needs home Wi-Fi, internet access and the Owlet services.
Can I return to the Ulanzi app?
Yes. In the clock’s local Owlanzi WebUI, choose System → Switch to Ulanzi app and confirm by typing ULANZI. The manufacturer app will then also start after future restarts. Your Owlanzi settings stay stored; use the desktop installer to select Owlanzi again.
How is this different from “Reset Owlanzi settings”?
That action only clears Owlanzi settings and Owlet credentials. Owlanzi remains the selected application. Wi-Fi is preserved. Returning to the manufacturer app is a separate, clearly labelled action.
How do I install future updates?
Select your Owlanzi clock in the desktop installer and choose “App updates for this clock”. Alternatively, open System → App updates in the clock’s local WebUI. By default, it checks for a new version daily. Installation requires your confirmation. Wi-Fi, Owlet credentials and settings are preserved by app updates.
Can I install from macOS, Linux or just my phone?
The desktop installer is available for Windows, Mac (Apple silicon and Intel) and Linux. It finds the clock on your home network and guides installation and Owlet setup. Initial installation from only a phone is not available; you can later use it to control the clock in a browser.
What has been tested on TC002?
The port was developed on a Z21 TC002 with manufacturer app 1.0.1. Windows installation, startup after a power cycle with USB power connected, rotary brightness and the confirmed return to Ulanzi have been checked on the clock, along with Owlet sign-in, Wi-Fi, time and app updates. Long-term testing, full audio/display acceptance and a real measurement series while wearing the sock remain pending. Keep using the Owlet Base Station and its alarms.
