Omnixie Plus Smart WiFi Nixie Clock
What is it?
Omnixie Plus as the name suggests, is the bigger brother of the original Omnixie Clock. Packed with the same great WiFi synchronization and automatic functions such as auto-brightness, self synchronization and daily color settings for LED. Omnixie Plus still boast the slimmest Nixie Clock base in the market. Now, for bigger Nixie tubes.
Nixie tubes (optional), Colon Tubes Provided
The Omnixie Plus Nixie tubes are optional, you may choose to purchase them directly from us, however, we are currently only able to supply IN-18 tubes. For the model excluding tubes, Omnixie Plus comes in 2 different pin definition: 1 for the IN-18 & another for the Z566M, Z5660M , ZM1040 or ZM1042 tubes. Please specify before making your purchase.
Any tubes with B13B pin definition in the ZM series are compatible with our Omnixie Plus E.g.: Z566M/Z5660M from RFT made in Germany, ZM1040 from Philips/Siemens/Tesla/Ultron/Valvo, ZM1042 from AEG/Siemens/Tesla/Valvo, LC-631 from Unitra Dolam.
Tubes are plug and play, which means, no additional adapters needed, after purchasing your own tubes, you may plug it in like you normally would for the Omnixie. Colon tubes will be provided and are now removable as well.
Omnixie Plus Nixie Clock Base
Omnixie Plus still boast the same design for the base, only wider and thicker (10mm) base to cater to the bigger tubes.
The base housing is made with Aluminum alloy panel on the top, with carbon gray anodizing, 600 mesh drawing process and high light edge processing. The bottom is made with 304 stainless steel with wire drawing and the peripherals are made with all natural black walnut wood.
Omnixie Plus Nixie Clock Operation
Our Omnixie Plus Nixie Clock operates differently from your traditional button-adjusted Nixie clocks, our clock doesn’t come with any buttons and we have migrated the operation of the clocks to our IR remote control and WiFi controls.
To match the premium design, we have included a WiFi module to allow for auto synchronization of the date and time with NTP servers for higher accuracy (NTP time accuracy is approximately 1-50ms).
The same NTP protocol used to synchronize the time on your computer, all you need to is connect your clock to your router for the first time and the clock will handle the rest.
Or you may choose the fastest NTP server based on your location (WiFi connection is only needed for initial set-up, no recurring connections needed on your part.). In other words, maintaining better time accuracy as compared to traditional time modules.
Enhanced Features
Automatic/Custom Brightness
Omnixie Plus uses a visible light sensor, the light-sensitive resistor effectively filters infra-red light and collects visible natural light to control the brightness of the Nixie tubes. The clock also comes with 8 brightness levels for the Nixie tubes and back lights, which can either be custom or set to automatic adjustments according to ambient light conditions.
Phonetic Chip
The Omnixie Plus comes with a built-in phonetic chip to support speech system in English, Chinese, Japanese and German; and can trigger any time with a push of a button on IR remote or set to automatic speech at regular intervals.
Omnixie Plus Nixie Clock Infra-red Remote Control & Power Supply
Every Omnixie Plus comes with an Infra-red remote control and 12V DC power adapter and barrel connector power supply.
WiFi Connectivity
The Omnixie Plus supports DHCP settings for external network access, supports mDNS for browser domain name access, supports SSDP for fast network discovery.
For the various settings of the Nixie clock, we provided a new setting interface, users can access their Omnixie Plus dashboard to configuration of all the Omnixie Plus features through any web browser, including iPhone, Android, Mac or PC.

This nixie clock is really a piece of art, it fits beautiful in both an modern and classic interior. The base of this clock has a very high quality finish, both the wood s well as the aluminum top plate look like if they where made by hand. I bought the clock with IN-18 tubes, which were brand new by the way. Putting the clock together is easy, place the tubes in their socket connect the power cable and you are good to go. The user manual gives you step by step instructions on how to setup the clock via your smartphone or computer. When connected to your home WiFi just configure the clock to your personal taste, there are quite a few options to personalize it. Imho this clock is well worth its money.
Buying this clock was also an experience that is worth mentioning. The Nixie Clocks Shop sales person answered all my questions promptly, helped in finding the best shipping option both in price and delivery time.

I’ve been looking for a Nixie tube clock for years, but never really found one that I thought was worth the price. There are many that come as kits, requiring soldering and intricate assembly. Others have very large, thick bases, that seem to detract from the beauty of the tubes, and feature wise only tell the time and not much else.
Then I found THIS. The Omnixie Plus is a work of art. The craftsmanship is so precise. Beautiful woodwork, smooth precision-cut aluminum, gold-plated pin inserts for the tubes, everything about it just says this is a high-quality instrument. The thin, low-profile base is beautiful, but minimalist, and shows off the tubes beautifully.
Everything was extremely well-packed, and all pieces arrived in perfect condition. Assembly was simple, and just involved inserting the tubes, plugging it in, and easy set-up using my iPad.
It’s a beautiful clock, and exactly what I’ve been wanting. It looks right at home sitting on my hi-fi stereo system.
