@jobraun hope you enjoyded the coffee.
would it be posible to have the inbuit switch to be multifunction? normal press is relay on off, long press triggers somthing via H.A.?
edit, just tried a quick double press on button 1 and it turns on relay 2? but a double press on 2 does nothing
You can do a lot with the buttons.

Use SetOption73 1 if you want to use them in HA, see tasmota documentation for more information, you can also use them with tasmota rules.
hey @jobraun
i am happy to found you here, you are the developer of the https://github.com/jobr99/nspanel-lovelace-ui or?
i installed it today and it works very well, i have a few questions when its okay.
- gives the option to add a wallpaper as background?
- is it possible to add the custom-button-card or is this too heavy for the small nspanel?
- animated icons are not possible?
i love the homekit style buttons how they look here A different take on designing a Lovelace UI - Share your Projects! - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io)
something like this is not possible i think?
- gives the option to add a wallpaper as background?
no, nextion screen do not support picture transfer to them on runtime and furthermore it doesnât support transparency
- is it possible to add the custom-button-card or is this too heavy for the small nspanel?
what do you mean? you can use cardGird and customize the icon, color and name
positions of gui elements are build into the firmware and they cannot be changed on runtime with nextion
- animated icons are not possible?
nextion isnât capeable of this
- i love the homekit style buttons
It might be possible to build something that looks more like homekit, but this would be a complete redesign and you wonât be able to do animations, etc.

It kind of is. Not in a pretty way but it is possible.

okay thank you for your explaining, but i see here in the thread severeal examples with a background image or is this not nextion?
transparency is not important for a background or missunderstand i something?
you added the grid-card , i mean the custom-button-card, it has a lot of customize options
custom-cards/button-card: 
Lovelace button-card for home assistant (github.com)
is it possible to change the weather icons to my own? i have here colored versions
I have an animated picture on the loading screen, but the icons used in lovelace ui are an icon font, so they are text.
you can always open up the project in the nextion editor and modify it, even with background images, but it has to be in the firmware, it is impossible to do this via configuration
transparency is important for things like sliders or switches, the images used in the sliders also need to have the background included, because it doesnât support transparency
all ui elements have to be fixed in the HMI Project, thigns like positions of elements cannot be changed on runtime
You can change the color of the icons on the screensaver

okay i understand. i will give it a try when i have time.
is it possible to change the weather icons?
and i use the tasmota version, is there the possibility to send a rtll sound to the panel or only under esphome?
not via configuration, since it isnât possible to transfer pictures on runtime.
it is possible to change the colors within the apps.yaml
(and theoretically also the icon, but only from this list icons sheet)
in the hmi project you can add whatever icon you want, but this isnât an easy change
you can use the buzzer on tasmota, but Iâm not aware of a way to play rttl
It can be done! You can upload your tft file directly from nextion editor just like you are flashing your ESPs. Karibu!(Welcome)
yeah, the serial pins for the nextion screen are exposed as Testpoints on the board, be aware that the labels are from espâs perspective, so you have to connect rx-rx and tx-tx
but system data error doesnât mean that the screen is broken normally you are still able to flash over the esp32 with tasmota/esphome
thank you for you answers.
@jobraun - how do I define the entities that I want on my climate page.
I tried this, it does not work, but the documentation does not give an example so I am just guessing.
- type: cardGrid
title: Heating
key: heating
cards:
- type: cardThermo
title: Heating
entity: climate.wiser_living_room
entities:
- entity: current_temperature
name: "Temp"
hey
i found a bug? the person doesnt work in the cardGrid, he always says unsupported. i tested it with tasmota and a another user on esphome by both systems he brings the error.
example
- type: cardGrid
entities:
- entity: switch.tuerklingel_2
name: HaustĂŒr öffnen
icon:
"on": mdi:lock-open
"off": mdi:lock
- entity: switch.tasmota
name: Klingel
icon:
"on": mdi:volume-high
"off": mdi:volume-off
- entity: scene.garage
name: Garage
icon: mdi:garage
- entity: person.marc_schiller
name: Marc
you cannot have a cardThermo within cardGrid, you can have a navigate entity on cardGrid to a cardThermo
furthermore cardThermo doesnât have entities, you only need to configure the climate entity
- type: cardGrid
title: Heating
key: heating
entities:
- entity: navigate.cardThermo_test
- type: cardThermo
title: Heating
key: test
entity: climate.wiser_living_room
person only works with the latest development version, this is an upcoming feature on 3.4.0
https://docs.nspanel.pky.eu/faq/#how-to-upgrade-from-a-release-to-the-current-development-version
Thanks, for that. Is there anyway to do this on a Mac? It looks like the Nextion editor only works on Windows.
@jobraun - is it possible to have a dummy entity in the cardGrid so that I can leave empty spaces in the grid ?
Is it also possible for the statusIcon1 & statusIcon2 to display different icon / colour depending on the state. I did not see any mention of this in the docs ?

@jobraun - Iâm not sure if this only effects my system, but the layout of the climate / Thermostat on my panel does not look great.
it seems that text is being wrapped / cut off and there is a lot of empty space on the screen that would allow the set temperature and the up and down arrows to be more easily read / pressed.
