Hi all,
Problem
- Upon plugging in the NSPanel, the display is stuck at the main screen with the message “Waiting for content… This is taking longer than usual, please check your backend configuration”
Details
I flashed with Tasmota and successfully got the LovelaceUI working as expected following these instructions:
I think I the problem started after I updated HACS
- I can’t get to the Tasmota page via the IP I had been using (it just times out)
- From NsPanel Lovelace UI Docs - FAQ I checked my appdaemon log (Settings > Add-ons > AppDaemon > Log) and it looks like it’s communicating
- AppDaemon indicates it’s active too
At this point I figured maybe I’ll try NSPanel Custom with HA Blueprint because that looks like possibly both a way out of this and maybe another good option
- I followed HOW TO - Flash Sonoff NSPanel with ESPHome where I followed all instructions where at the end I called the service ESPHome: nspanel_upload_tft and that seemed successful but the panel display still is stuck in the “Waiting for content…” message I specified in the problem description
I figured the problem is that I probably need to get by the “Waiting for content…” message before I can move forward so I tried reinstalling Tasmota but that ended up resulting in the NSPanel just displaying a blank/black screen, so I flashed again w/ ESPHome and I’m back to my “Waiting for content…” message
In ESPHome it looks good (see below log and how I’m able to turn the relay on/off (and hear a “click” on the NSPanel when I do))
I was also thinking that maybe Factory restore for NSPanel might be an option but I don’t think so since I can’t get to the Tasmota UI to run the command for the tft file
