It's a nice concept, though the execution isn't perfect. The biggest flaw, which may have been fixed since, is that the power supply decoupling isn't good enough, such that when the batteries get low and the alarm tries to make a noise, the clock detects it as a touch, which instantly snoozes the alarm. We haven't had it since the original batteries though, which were ironically the ones Lexon supplied.
N.B. These are only just big enough to put a glass of water on top, and it might not play well with the touch sensitivity.
That's a cool clock. Do they make one that is radio controlled by US transmitters? If not, maybe txtempus[1] and a Raspberry Pi Zero W can help. Or pico_dcf77_tx[2] and a Pico W.
