This is an amazing project! I have 3 of these running in my house right now and I love them. I do have a 4th that has been giving me fits and I was hoping I could get a nudge in the right direction. After about 30 seconds the screen goes blank (No text, just backlight on) Iāve deleted and recreated it. Flashed the nextion firmware multiple times, flashed the D1 mini, replaced the D1 mini, connected the D1 directly to the screen, and Iāve resoldered the screen, but the problem persists.
The logs around time of failure show that the screen is timing out.

The peculiar thing is I can see every screen button press in the debugging and if I reboot the screen I can view it for about 30 seconds before it goes away. Any thoughts?
Iām a pround owner of my-first-project-made HASP and I use esp8266. The thing is that is a kind of slow and 8 was wondering if it would run on esp32 wroom orn any other esp32 model?
Anyone tried esp32?
The way the Nextion communication works is that the HASPone sends a single command to the Nextion, and then waits for the Nextion to return an acknowledgement that the command was processed before proceeding. Thatās the timeout youāre seeing. Check the serial wiring between the board the Nextion, and maybe try changing the serial communication speed down a bit to see if that clears it up. This should run without problems at the highest serial speed, so if changing the speed improves performance that might be a sign that you have some physical problem with the setup (again, signal quality between the board and the Nextion).
Iāve not tried compiling the project on ESP32 as there arenāt (to my knowledge) any ESP32 boards that will fit within the footprint of a D1 mini and everything in the project is pretty tightly packed. However - the ESP8266 isnāt having much asked of it in this project, so if things are running slow, itās very likely that your problem lies elsewhere.
Iād check debug logs and try to get a sense of the timing between you sending an MQTT packet out from the device in response to a button press, and the returned message from Home Assistant. If you find that a button press message is followed by a response within a couple hundred msec, then there might be a performance problem on the HASPone. If not, itās likely slow execution of automations in Home Assistant, WiFi problems (packet loss etc), or MQTT issues (and this list is in decreasing order of likelihood).
In nearly all cases where a user was experiencing slow performance, the issue was due to Home Assistant automations firing slowly. If youāre running on an RPi, you might find that the overall experience improves by moving to a more performant platform for your HA install.
Thanks for the suggestions. I sort of suspected that was probably the case. Iāve resoldered the connections and even found alternate solder points for each spot. No luck. Iāll pull one of my installed ones to verify that this is the case and probably end up ordering a new screen. Thanks for all of your hard work luma, the Blueprints make this thing ridiculously easy to setup and thanks for confirming what I feared 
Do you have a link to this product? Iām assuming you built and sell it still?
The product page can be found here but Iām currently out of stock while I scour the world for the power supply used in the project. The situation w/ parts availability has become increasingly problematic.
@michael.leone
I am a bit late to this party, but would really appreciate if STL files were available for your printed cover for Au
New blueprint!
Cycle Automations:
A button on the HASP will toggle through as many as 10 selected automations. This allows the user to assign multiple blueprints to the same button on the HASPone device, and to cycle between them by pressing the selected button.
Optionally, a timeout can be set to cycle back to a ādefaultā automation after a specified interval, or to continuously cycle through selected automations.
HASPone v1.03 release
This release is mostly minor bug fixes, feature enhancements, and underlying library updates.
Changelog
- Add option āIgnore touchevents when backlight is offā, allowing one to āsecureā a HASPone device if needed by locking out user input and display. Thanks to @jjfalling for the initial code and idea!
- Add option to set custom discovery prefix at request from user @scyto. Iāll add that this is probably a bad idea and you will likely create a bunch of problems for yourself if you change this value.
- Add configurable value for the number of pages in the Nextion project. The default value of ā11ā is what most people will use unless you have modified the Nextion project file.
- Add
platformio.inifile to simplify library management when compiling HASPone device firmware - Fix JSON return error with some troubleshooting help from @rebel7580 - thanks!
- Some general code cleanup and small bug fixes
- Update blueprints to avoid logging errors on startup in response to upcoming breaking change in Home Assistant 2021.12
- Update ESP8226 core to 3.0.2

Firmware Update Procedure
- Open a browser to your HASPoneās IP address or
http://<devicename>.local - Click the button labeled
update firmware - Click the first button
Update ESP from URLand allow that process to complete. The device will power cycle after a minute or two. - If your HASPone is no longer connected to your computer via a USB cable, uncheck the option

Hi everyone,
is there a way to reboot the display from remote through mqtt, please?
Many thanks!
Sure is! Check the MQTT command documentation here.
Just send an MQTT message (message body can be empty) on the topic 'hasp/plate01/command/reboot', where plate01 is the name of the HASPone device you want to reboot.
Can the discord link be updated? It says it has expired. Thank you!

The 1.05 blueprints have some fixes that allow for some more advanced features. One common request has been a solution for dealing with RGB lights. I have yet to find any good solution for a color-wheel style color picker, but maybe something similar could work.
Iām working on a blueprint which would allow you to select a button and a color-capable light to control. Thatād create a button like this somewhere:
When you press the assigned button, the device will flip over to page 11 and present a palette of 12 color swatches along with dimmer controls:
The top row has on/off toggle and a slider to control dimming. The 12 squares below that will send a color value, and pressing āReturnā will take the user back to the page they started from. With this approach, one can control as many RGB lights as you have available buttons.
I have the basic functionality worked out but I have one problemā¦
Call for help!
I would like to provide a āniceā default palette of 12 colors that would be suitable for RGB lighting. The user will be able to change these values (more on that later, itās extremely customizable), but I think itād be great if there was some sensible set of colors offered out of the box.
Thatās where you come in!
I love this. My use case is that I have a ālampā in my living room that I made with RGBW strips and use the HASP to control it. My color needs are limited since most of the time weāre just looking for different temperatures of white from cool to warm depending on the mood. Itās hard for me to step outside of my own use case so I guess if I had a few temps of white Iād be set and the other colors would just be a bonus that likely my kids would just enjoy playing with.
