NSPanel Pro - Custom android apps (working)

It is worked for me w/o opening the box. I used OTA adb method… is there any newer version of Webview available for this OS which can be installed? I’ve tried a couple of them, but I was not able to select them in developer tools

The NSPanel Pro 120 comes with a newer Webview version, as I listed above. What do you need a newer one for, if FullyKiosk / HA Companion App works?

Yes, you are right. No need to fix which is not broken :slight_smile:

Yes, as the guys have mentioned below, no need to open the unit.

Hola
I have a NS PANEL PRO updated in 3.1 firmware (ewelink)
Is it possible to update Webview with 125 or 128 ?
For now I’m in 108 version
My HA Dashboard with FK in very long and the state return of light can take 10 seconds to display on the NS PANEL PRO…

I don’t think so, I tried downloading the latest apk for Android 8.1+ (not the version for 10+) and it wouldn’t install. WebView wouldn’t update either. Settings say 1.07.xx but when I try to install one of the 108 versions. One gives me a message that it’s at that version, other was a different error. Things worked so I just let it be.

Created account
Turned on as Zigbee router (this does a factory reset for some reason)
Updated firmware

Since I created an ewlink account network ADB just worked. Just installed the launcher and. Apk with tools. Which Android companion app did you install? I installed the minimalist version which doesn’t include Google Play services like device tracking and notifications. Haven’t even started my dedicated dashboard and lights pop up with slider for brightness comes up in 2 to 4 seconds tops. Not super quick but nowhere near 10 seconds. Slider and color picker are very responsive once up. Expand assets in the below link and try that APK. Not sure why the regular companion app (if that’s what you installed) that you would get through the play store would be that much more resource hungry but who knows what else Google play is doing in the background.

The Android app has both a full flavor that uses Google Play Services to offer features like location tracking and notifications. There is also a minimal flavor that does not require Google Play Services and can be found in the releases section. The minimal flavor does not have location tracking or notifications.

Hy,
I had everything running (launcher, homeassistnat companion etc.) on The Pro 120. After a reboot i somehow managed to boot into the stock laucher. Now i’m unable to connect to adb both wireless and with a usb cable. Tried resetting and readding it to the eWeLink app. There it still shows adb enabled. I also resetted the device with the 5x power disconnect. But same story. Anything I can do to get adb working again?

EDIT: It was the damn micro USB cable…

Just to clarify regarding rooting the device methods:

1.) Enable developer mode in eweLink App

Con:

  • irreversible
  • you will lose warranty and all future updates

Pro:

  • no need to open

2.) adb in recovery mode
Con:

  • will lose latest firmware
  • have to stay on recovery firmware
  • need to open

Pro:

  • reversible
  • wont lose warranty

3.) adb otg method
Con:

  • need to open
  • after every fw update have to redo the procedure

Pro:

  • reversible
  • wont lose warranty
