updated everything to 4.3.7 and found the timezone settings but I also updated the ESPhome docker to include the correct timezones so that my soul is happy.

is there a way to use a template to select the used entity in a button?
i would like to have a button for a media_player, but since i have multiple media players that can be active i would like the one button show the actually playing media_player.
You can assign a script to a button, then use that script to call the media player page with the entity playing (you solve that on your side).
You can use this to open a specific entity: NSPanel_HA_Blueprint/docs/howto.md at main · Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint (github.com)

I have the alarm panel mapped to switch2. Call the complete Alarmo page where there is Arm home, Arm away, Disarm. When I press disarm, the decoding keyboard appears. I would like So that I don’t have to call the Alarmo subpages individually, but that the keyboard in the Disarm state is displayed directly during the Alarm entry.
Do you mind adding this as a feature request in GitHub?

What is the last version of the blueprint / repository with this “nest” dial?
Is it possible to download it?
( I dont need new features I just need this thermostat )
They removed the nest style dial because it caused crashes.
I’ll ask here as I am a bit lost with versioning:
my Blueprint is at v4.3.2 on an EU panel.
in ESPhome I am targeting main from Git and framework is esp-idf.
A while ago I was reading about having to flash sometime around March(?) to get to the new architecture and new blueprint.
Is that something I still need to do or since I am not on Arduino framework I can just stay with what I have?
You can just stay.
Great, thank you!

I am using thie bluprint for a month and everything is fine.
Now I added a HVAC control to homeassistant and using NSpanel I can change all the modes od heating/cooling/etc.
But is there a way to change the fan speed of the HVAC also?
I found one more issue:
NSpanel dont show the climate:auto icon “mdi:thermostat-auto” as here in a red circle but icon “mdi:calendar-refresh” - why?

I was just looking at adding the Bluetooth Proxy so thought it would be a good time to also remove some unnecessary things but ESPhome doesn’t like the example code.
# Removes the `captive_portal` component
captive_portal: !remove
# Removes the OTA password
ota:
password: !remove
… and therefore won’t compile. I guess I’m doing something wrong… This is currently at the bottom of my NS Panel ESPhome code. Do I need to put these elsewhere?
captive_portal and web_server are included only when using advanced mode.
