Standalone pomodoro timer for clocks flashed with the awesome awtrix-light firmware.

The recommended way to install is to build it yourself using cargo (after skimming the code to make sure it's not doing anything nefarious) but there are also Github CI build binaries if you like.

• Download a suitable build zip for your operating system from https://github.com/blutack/awtrix-pom/releases
• Unzip it to find an awtrix-pom or awtrix-pom.exe binary
• Open the folder in a command prompt/terminal window (Windows users, right click in the folder and select "Open command window here")
• Run awtrix-pom.exe http://my-clock.local on Windows or ./awtrix-pom http://my-clock.local on Linux/OSX
• Your clock should switch to a pomodoro timer layout

• Install Rust from https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install if you don't already have it
• Clone this repo with git clone https://github.com/blutack/awtrix-pom
• Change directory into the cloned repository and run cargo build --release. Your binary will be output to the /target/release folder
• You can also run awtrix-pom directly with cargo run -- http://my-clock.local
• Your clock should switch to a pomodoro timer layout

Because the logic would be very painful to implement, and I wanted something I could fire up quickly on my desktop/laptop. Also, it's been a little while since I've done CLI stuff in Rust.

By calling the HTTP API of your clock to create a temporary custom app ("pomodoro") and switching to it. It then updates the text and progress bar every minute (unless it's in seconds mode, in which case it updates every... second). On shutdown (ctrl-c) it wipes the temporary app.

• Because the clock bit of the view is updated only when the pomodoro timer ticks down, the displayed time could be up to a minute behind. This is not a problem for me but if it is for you let me know and I'll fix it.

Usage: awtrix-pom <hostname> [--work <work>] [--short <short>] [--long <long>] [--cycles <cycles>] [--beep <beep>] [--switch <switch>] [-v] [--seconds]
