Don’t expect it to be easy

Hi, @jobraun i am almost there.

i get this on the nspanel:

Waiting for content…
This is taking longer than usual…

what have i missed?

jobraun · April 29, 2022, 3:17pm

check your appdaemon log, could be a wrong mqtt config in appdaemon, on tasmota or wrong mqtt topics in the apps.yaml

papakigr · April 29, 2022, 10:14pm

kroonen · April 30, 2022, 7:10pm

Found it. also have copy also the nspanel-lovelace-ui folder form github to apps folder

that a restart and worked

papakigr · April 30, 2022, 7:21pm

is it looking like this:?

kroonen · April 30, 2022, 7:24pm

yep, and the files in there.

papakigr · April 30, 2022, 7:36pm

i think i have the same settings but is not working…

jobraun · April 30, 2022, 8:00pm

@papakigr don’t change the module it has to be

module: nspanel-lovelace-ui

jobraun · April 30, 2022, 8:02pm

Installing the app via hacs is exactly doing that, you can just install ist with hacs, no need to upload the files manually

papakigr · April 30, 2022, 8:40pm

That did the job!

xforce007 · April 30, 2022, 10:27pm

Rhoots, I am very curious what you did/how you got your screen to upload. I have been trying for almost 4 days now but always get the same problem with the timouts and then available 1…18 returning 0x00. I’d love to know how you fixed it!

Thanks!

papakigr · May 1, 2022, 1:34pm

@jobraun it rocks!!!

Works fluently!

iscraigh · May 1, 2022, 4:13pm

I have an nspanel and have flashed esphome to it but haven’t really done anything else with it. I was wondering would it run on 12v? I have a place I could mount it but would only have a 12v power supply available.

Thanks

Craig

jamie.evans · May 1, 2022, 9:45pm

@jobraun amazing work - your UI looks and works well thank you. Just a quick question, does your method support multiple nspanels? Would they all have the same UI or can I specify different layouts for different panels?

jobraun · May 3, 2022, 1:58pm

yes, just create multiple panels in apps.yaml
