| Cool choices! I look forward to checking it out. Can you give me a part number for the piezoelectric element? Almost out of the testing phase! A screenshot of the config page..

For anyone curious the AnyRtttl library for the Arduino IDE works a charm for a clock alarm! It's the standard Nokia developed for custom ringtones on their cellphones! I Provided a field for custom tunes on the alarm page. Hook up to a simple piezo element and there you go.
I know I shouldn't be this excited by a clock that beeps and boops like a 70's childrens game, but I am!

Benoit,
There is no (software) volume control at the moment, I'm just using the ESP to drive a piezo element. I tried a few elements I had.. and all of them are loud enough to wake me up. You can always use a resistor to reduce the volume, or a transistor drive to make it louder. I was able to play musical notes easily with the element too, so that is cool.
So many other ways one can make noise with the ESP32.. play music through I2S or driving a bluetooth speaker are other options. I'm starting simple for now.
Allen, I should have new beta firmware this week!

Moses, Is there a way to set a crescendo volume ???

Nice! I can’t wait to try this.
Yes, I think you are correct, most people who buy or built nixie clocks are not looking for an alarm, but some are! I will have new firmware for my pair of clocks that adds an alarm function, I need about another week :)
Sneak peak at the Alarm config page below.

Thank you for all comments, had hoped for a few more though.
It seems that most Nixie clocks nowadays are for showing the Nixies themselves and not for use as alarm clocks.
The hunt goes on and I might cobble something together myself with the help from some kit.

AM and FM Radio part is not so good...
Beautiful workmanship and clock. Bluetooth works nicely.

I designed one about ten years ago. I made a few and offered them on Ebay, but nobody was interested. The prototype has been waking me reliably in the morning for ten years. It has IN17s, 12 or 24 hour mode, two completely independent alarms, snooze adjustable 1 to 9 minutes, a tilt switch for snooze (reach out blindly and slap it) and a supercap to keep time for a nominal 24 hours if it gets unplugged. It uses a 12V wall wart for power. I believe I still have one left, tucked in a drawer somewhere, and a few partly assembled boards and parts.
I'm old and tired now and I'm never going to pick this project up again. Does anybody feel like taking it over? It's a shame to let it die.
