Terms of service

AWTRIX Hub is a free place to share automations and icons for AWTRIX pixel displays. It is operated by Stephan Mühl Softwareentwicklung (see the legal notice). By using the site you accept these terms.

1. What the service is

You can browse, search and download flows and icons without an account and without giving us anything. Publishing a flow or an icon requires an account. The service is provided free of charge and without any claim to availability. We may change or discontinue it, and we may remove content — sections 5 and 6 explain when.

You create an account by signing in with GitHub, Google or Discord. We never see your password; what we receive from the provider is listed in section 5.2 of the privacy policy. Your account is how you edit and delete what you published, and how we can reach you about it. You can delete it yourself at any time, and section 5.3 of the privacy policy says what becomes of your contributions when you do.

Flows published before accounts existed are secured by a secret edit link instead of an account, and those links keep working. Whoever holds one can change or delete that flow, so keep it to yourself. We cannot restore a lost link, because we store only a hash of it. If you hold such a link, open it while signed in and you can attach the flow to your account: the flow becomes yours, the edit link stops working permanently, and nobody else can use it again. No date is set for retiring the links that remain.

2. What you may not upload

• Content whose rights you do not hold — images, flows, blueprints, code or text belonging to somebody else, unless the licence permits you to share it here.
• Content that is unlawful under German or European law. This includes incitement to hatred, insults, threats, glorification of violence, and content that demeans people on the basis of origin, gender, age, religion, disability or sexual orientation.
• Malware, or flows built to damage devices, networks or third-party services.
• Personal data of other people, and your own personal data beyond the author name you choose.
• Advertising and content unrelated to AWTRIX displays.

If you are unsure whether something is allowed, do not upload it and ask us first. Automated or bulk submissions are not permitted; submissions are rate limited.

3. Your responsibility for what you publish

By publishing you confirm that you created the content or are otherwise entitled to share it, and that doing so infringes nobody else's rights. You remain responsible for your content. Flows and icons are third-party content for us within the meaning of §§ 7–10 DDG; we do not review them before publication. An icon is public as soon as you publish it, and we act on it only afterwards — when it is reported, or when we notice it ourselves.

4. The rights you grant us

So that we can actually run the site, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to:

• store your content — flows, cover images, icons, and the names and descriptions you write for them — and make it publicly available on this website,
• offer it for download and copying to visitors, and serve icons directly to AWTRIX devices and to the software that installs them,
• create the technically necessary copies and entries — for example resized versions of your cover image, and the catalogue entry that records an icon's name, its dimensions, its number of frames and its file size,
• and, for flows you submit under “Home Assistant Blueprint”, mirror the flow text into our public GitHub repository, because Home Assistant imports blueprints directly from there.

You keep the copyright in your content. If you delete a flow or an icon, or delete your account and ask for your contributions to go with it, this licence ends for the future. Copies that other people have already downloaded or installed on a device, and entries in the public GitHub repository's history, cannot be recalled — please keep that in mind before publishing.

5. Using content from this site

Flows published here are made available so that other people can use them on their own displays. Unless the individual flow says otherwise:

• you may use flows privately and adapt them for yourself,
• you may not present someone else's flow as your own, and you may not sell collections of flows taken from this site,
• if you publish a flow elsewhere, credit its author and, where reasonable, link back to it here.

Icons published here are made available so that other people can show them on their own clocks. Unless the individual icon says otherwise, you may install an icon on your own devices and adapt it for yourself; you may not present someone else's icon as your own, and you may not sell collections of icons taken from this site.

Use is at your own risk. A flow is a configuration written by a stranger; read it before you run it, especially if it contains credentials or calls external services.

6. Reporting content — notice and action

Anyone can report content they consider unlawful or in breach of these terms, using the reporting form. This is our notice and action mechanism pursuant to Art. 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act). Reports may also be sent to flows@blueforcer.de, which is also our contact point under Art. 11 and 12 DSA.

A useful report tells us:

• which flow or icon it concerns (the link is enough),
• why you consider it unlawful or in breach of these terms,
• and, optionally, how to reach you — that is voluntary, and anonymous reports are processed too.

We look at reports without undue delay and decide on the basis of these terms and the applicable law. We may leave the content untouched, hide it, or delete it. If you gave us contact details, we will tell you what we decided and why.

Where the content was published from an account, we tell the person who published it what we decided and why, in line with Art. 17 DSA. Flows published before accounts existed carry no contact details at all — only the hash of an edit link — so for those we still cannot inform anybody. Attaching such a flow to an account, as described in section 1, is what makes its author reachable.

Reports that are manifestly unfounded and submitted repeatedly may be disregarded.

7. Availability and liability

We run this site with care, but it is offered as it is. We do not guarantee that it is available, that flows work, or that stored files remain intact. Whether backups exist and can be restored is at our discretion.

We are liable without limitation for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence, and for damage arising from injury to life, body or health. We are also liable where we culpably breach an essential contractual obligation, but in that case only for foreseeable damage typical of this kind of agreement. Any further liability is excluded. This does not affect liability under mandatory statutory provisions.

If a third party asserts claims against us because of content you published, you will indemnify us against those claims and the necessary costs of legal defence, unless you are not at fault.

8. Applicable law

German law applies. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, this does not affect the protection afforded to you by mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.

9. Changes to these terms

We may amend these terms when the service changes or the law requires it. The date below tells you which version you are reading. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the amended terms; if you do not, please stop using the service and delete what you published.

10. Severability

If a provision of these terms is or becomes invalid, the remaining provisions remain unaffected.
