Has anyone modified Sonoff NSPanel Pro to run from DC power?

Hi,
not really HA specific, but has anyone modified NSPanel Pro to run from DC? I have a wall box that does not have 220V, but has 4x0.8 cable running to it.

There is an article on Reddit that shows how to do this. I have ordered the PCB, case and components for it, but it will be a week or two before they arrive.

There is also this: Smartavan 12VDC backplate for Sonoff NSPanel

Disclaimer: designed this

yeah, nspanel pro is a different thing

Yep i think at least the physical dimensions are different there. I was trying to find pinout from there but no success.

So, if pinout is same, then the same PCB works but it need some different enclosure for it to fit…

Anyway, this thread has been rendedered irrelevant by time from my point of view as there are alternatives to nspanel pro available from Aliexpress now that require far less hacking for Home Assistant use and cost 1/4.

Thats true. Do you have some suggestions what alternatives are good to go?

I ordered this, but have not yet had time to play with it. So i do not know if it is “good to go”
