I don’t see a delay like you are talking about. I can change an input_boolean in HA and see it update nearly immediately on the NS Panel.
Hello,
I am trying to configure the panel according to the instructions at the Blackymas github. I have parts of it working, but it won’t update the display. from the logs, the Nextion upload is failing. Does anyone have any tricks of tips for getting that to work?
Thanks.

TFT upload failed.
This morning I updated my NSPanel with ESPHome version from 2023.11.4 to 2023.11.6. Unforfunatly the Nspanel does not start up; still got the status ‘Initializing…’ Also after restart and power off the NSPanel.
TFT version: 4.1
ESPHome :4.1
Blueprint 4.1
I updated Blueprint to version 4.1.1, try to updated ESPhome and pasted the new nspanel_eu.tft -file local for updating, but get the error ‘[E][script.upload_tft:104]: TFT upload failed.’
I made also an issue on the ESPhome Github Something with the ‘Component esphome.coroutine’ I guess
Same for me…stop working with ESP Version 2023.11.6
I have update the ESP Add-on and the NSPanel from 2023.11.4 to 2023.11.6
any option to rollback?
Same for me. The devices are still on the network and connected to HA, just not loading properly.
I run two instances of the ESPhome add-on and have one set to last month’s version so I have a way out, but would rather try to help fix the issue.
Unfortunately, no errors in the log to help out
Same for me. Was already at 4.1.1 for all three components. Updated ESPHome firmware 2023.11.6 from 2023.11.4 previously installed.
Now stuck onto the initializing screen. NSPanel still shown on network though.
Watching discussion for resolution.

Thanks for the fast fix @EdwardTFN!
I updated the blueprint, the ESPHome and NSpanel with version 4.1.2 Unfortunatly, the dispay/NSPanel is quite slow now. In particular my climate screen. Sometimes it shows nothing, sometime a few entities.
Do you have any error message in the Home Assistant logs (Settings > System > Logs)?
The error I can see is the following:

Newbie question - I have purchased the NSPanel and this https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005005441337818.html TTL cable. It says
Red: 5v
Power supply: 5v
Ttl Ebene: 3,3 v
Would I fry my NSPanel if I flash it with this cable?
Doesn’t look like it…
TTL wise you’re okay, but you also need a 3.3 powersupply….
What you need is something like this
USB to TTL serial

Does this support the new NSPanel Pro?
Nope. The pro version is not esp based as far as I know.
I think you should still create an automation using the blueprint?
In this automation. One of the options is to select the Nspanel.
how can i update the blueprint to latest version? the problem is am getting error message about the Blueprint version mismatch 
Open the blueprint file using file or vs code add on. And overwrite its content.
Blueprints are in the blueprint folder.
