I don’t believe this is possible, unless something has changed. That part where you have to upload the background image that takes forever is static so I am not sure if it would be possible to get the exact look you want. If it is possible, something has changed because they always had 2 files to upload, one for the EU model and one for the US due to the different aspect ratios. I believe you are limited to mdi files.
Unfortunately that format was replaced by the horizontal bar. That previous dial was quite buggy given the limitations imposed by the display used by Sonoff on the NSPanel.

What version number should this beta test have?
4.3.0b2 right now
clean build again d’oh.
Just testing.
relay 2 icon dialogue box looks wrong, typing in it does not show any icons but it does work to change the icon on the nspaniel.
Also if I remove the Mdi:whatever I get a 1 or 2 on NSpanel but I thought you should get no icon.
This was already fixed in dev and will be included on v4.3 to be released very soon.

what about the square with a 1 or 2 when you have no mdi:icon for the relay?
That is the default icon when no icon is selected. I’ve on my plans to be able to use those chips to something else, so this issue will be resolved. But that is hopefully for v4.4, as now v4.3 is already on beta.
v4.3 - Welcome to Framework ESP-IDF, an Utilities Dashboard and Enhanced Localization
This milestone release is not just about adopting a new technical foundation; it’s about enhancing the capabilities and experiences of our users through significant performance improvements, more comprehensive API documentation, customizable user interfaces and improved localization.
And with a nice Utilities Dashboard as a bonus!!
Our dedication to refining the user experience and expanding customization options continues, with this release featuring:
- Utilities Dashboard: A new addition, offering a customizable overview for essential utility metrics such as solar production, wind energy, EV charging status, battery levels, and water or gas consumption.
- Comprehensive API Documentation: Simplifying customization and integration for developers and users, enabling tailored experiences with detailed service documentation.
- Localization and Personalization: Advances in user-defined settings, like decimal separators and value translations, contribute to a more intuitive interface. We’ve also streamlined the display to exclude empty pages, making navigation more efficient.
- Performance and Functionality: The shift to the ESP-IDF framework not only boosts performance but also paves the way for future enhancements, keeping NSPanel at the forefront of smart control technology.
As we embrace the ESP-IDF framework, we’re excited to explore the new horizons it brings to the NSPanel firmware. Dive into v4.3 and discover the advancements that await.

Is there an overview for the utility dashboard which group is where?
Hi!! I manage to flash my NSPanel and using Blueprint to customize the panel. My needs are pretty simple (I think!) How can I use the physical buttons to dimm the lights that will be connected on the the 2 outputs provided on the NSPanel ?
Is it possible ? If not, what do I need to “add” to make this work ??
Thanks for your help!
EU:
G1 G3 G5
Grid Home
G2 G4 G6
US
G1 Grid G2
G3 G4
G5 Home G6

Why don’t you add this as a feature request in GitHub so we can understand it better?
The relays on NSPanel are 2-state only, so it will be on or off and cannot natively dim a light connected to it.
You can, however, connect the relay to a dimmers (no need for a smart/connected dimmer) and would be possible to customize the button to control that (some people already did).
You can also use a smart bulb and use the button state to manage that. Again, some other people already did that.

Great blueprint, new update works perfect.
Hi, I’ve been encountering some issues while trying to install the ESPHome firmware and haven’t been able to resolve them despite numerous attempts. I would really appreciate any help.
Initially, I tried the ‘plug into this computer’ option, but it just keeps getting stuck on the ‘preparing’ screen with a spinning circle. Then, I attempted the ‘manual download’ option, but I’ve run into errors halfway through multiple times. Could anyone possibly assist me with this? Thank you so much in advance

Since update v4.3.0 the temperature on the homepage overwrites the temperature of my climate control by the temperature of the NSpanel build in temp sensor after a few seconds. Any idea to change this?
Hi, I am new to HA and would like to know if I can have a central HA dashboard in the house on a big screen, and then these NSPanels in each room. And if I can, would they work fine as one HA system?
On GitHub I saw a change fixing this issue.
Probably this will be released next Wednesday in v4.3.1
