Features

Everything it does.

The complete list — nothing here is planned or promised; it's what the device does today.

The adhan, automatically

  • Plays the adhan at all five daily prayers, every day, completely unattended.
  • Times are calculated for your exact location — not a generic city.
  • No subscriptions, no cloud account, no phone in your pocket needed.

Casting — every speaker in the house

  • Broadcasts to Google Cast / Nest speakers and displays on your Wi‑Fi: one speaker, several, or the whole home at once.
  • Per-speaker control: on/off, individual volume, and per-sound routing — the Qur'an in the lounge never wakes a child's bedroom.
  • Finds your speakers automatically, and quietly re-finds them if the network hiccups.
  • Works with Google Cast devices — not Amazon Alexa.

Your own sounds

  • Upload your own audio — your preferred adhan, reciter or dua — and choose which file plays for each event. You can even record the adhan in your own voice.
  • Ships with a full built-in audio library, so it works out of the box.

Beyond the adhan

  • Pre-prayer reminders before a window closes (before sunrise, before Asr, before Maghrib).
  • Morning and evening dhikr at times you set, with a bedtime cut-off.
  • Surah al‑Kahf every Friday, plus a Friday prayer dua.
  • Qur'an programmes — any surah at a fixed time or relative to a prayer (Yasin fifteen minutes after Maghrib, say). Six surahs pre-loaded.
  • Wake-up alarm, Suhoor alarm for Ramadan, and Eid takbeeraat.

Accurate, configurable times

  • Multiple calculation methods (ISNA, MWL, Umm al‑Qura, Karachi, Egyptian, Diyanet and more) and the Asr juristic method (madhab).
  • Sensible Fajr and Isha rules, including high-latitude handling for UK and European summers.
  • The Hijri date, alongside the Gregorian.

Considerate by design

  • Quiet hours drop background audio to a neighbour-safe level, or silence, through the night — but the adhan always plays clearly.
  • Designed so a software glitch can never mute the call to prayer.

The clock

  • A striking 24-hour dial: one hand, one full turn a day, midnight at the top, noon at the bottom — the whole day at a glance.
  • Each prayer's portion of the day carries its own scene and light; the current hour glows over a shifting aurora.
  • Live countdown to the next prayer, weather, moon phase and date; a 12-hour face and a TV mode too.

Control from anywhere in the house

  • A clean web dashboard from any phone, tablet or TV browser — nothing to install.
  • Add it to your phone's home screen with a one-tap Stop button.
  • A guided first-run wizard, full settings, sound tests, Emergency Stop, and a play history that confirms audio reached the speakers.
  • Interface in English, Dutch, French and Arabic.

Set it and forget it

  • Runs 24/7 on a low-power Raspberry Pi — no PC, no screen required.
  • A watchdog confirms the audio actually played.
  • Updates itself overnight and rolls back automatically if anything's wrong.

For the whole family

  • Run a unit in more than one home — parents, children, relatives in other cities.
  • Built-in secure remote access, so you can help a family member's device from anywhere.

What you need

  • Home Wi‑Fi and at least one Google Cast / Nest speaker or display.
  • Available ready-to-go, or as a free do-it-yourself install — the software is open source (email me for it).
