WiFi LED Countdown Timer

A countdown to any date — a launch, a wedding, a deadline, New Year. No key, no code.

What you need

  • A DataPix, powered on and joined to your WiFi (see Setup).
  • Your time zone set in Network Time, so it lands on the right moment.

  4. Background animation

    The view starts with Hourglass in the top corner. Pick any other scene, background, pattern or effect, or None — the preview plays right in the dialog.

  5. Arrange and save

    The countdown is one value like 5d 3h 42m — move it, recolour it or change the format, then Save.
