NSPanel-MF

Custom HMI controlled by ESPHome for the Sonoff NSPanel. Includes home screen with weather data and clock, media player card, control of 8 lights (easily expandable), bootup screen and disable screen for alarm. Audible notifications can be sent from Home Assistant that remain visible on the screen for a set period of time. More to come. All content on the screen can be controlled from ESPHome and is very easily integrated to Home Assistant.

Credits

I created this based on information shared in the following forum threads: Home assistant thread, ESPHome thread

Significant parts of the ESPHome config and ideas in the HMI are from Masto.

The HMI theme is based on the Lovelace iOS dark mode theme

Weather icons are from simple weather card

Light icons on the Lights-page are from Hass BHA Icons

Other icons are from Material Design Icons

The font is the Ubuntu font.

The ESPHome config yaml is based on Masto's example config

HMI Screenshots

Not all exposed entities are visible on the screenshot. The items look slightly poorly centered. This is to cope with the issue that the physical screen is larger than the visible area.

Usage

The weather entities, media entities, lights etc. are selected in the ESPHome config. You can navigate between screens by touching the sides (right or left) in the center on the screen. The media player is on the left side, and the lights on the right side. The config that is not done in ESPHome is done in Home Assistant.

In the example config a big part of the config is done in the ESPHome YAML file. If you prefer to set-and-forget it, you can replace the media entities, weather entities, light entities etc. with HA templates or input_text fields. That way you can re-configure everything directly from Home Assistant.

Any information and/or code found here is used on your own risk.

Installation

Install and configure ESPHome.
Prepare the NSPanel for flashing (see instructions in the forum pages linked above).
Download the ESPHome sketch and adjust to your needs. Flash it to the NSPanel. Pay special attention to the tft_url parameter and ensure it is accessible by the NSPanel.
Download the HMI file and save it to the tft_url location.
Add the unit to Home Assistant through the ESPHome integration.
Run the esphome.nspanel_upload_tft service from Home Assistant. This will download the HMI to the NSPanel. Please note that this will block the ESPHome connection during the update. Follow the progress on the HMI screen. When the HMI is installed, reboot the unit.
Configure the unit in Home Assistant to add actions to the buttons etc. it exposes.
Enjoy!

TODO

Somewhat in a priority order:

Control screen further:
- Dim screen when not used and wake up when used. Further control from Home Assistant
Add equipment page for vacuum robot, lawn mower robot, AC.
Add electrical power monitoring page

Touch hotspot > fix available

Hello Thanks for sharing your work, I build a v0 of mine from yours and I am very happy. Thanks a lot.

I notice your hotspots have an offset. Have you seen there is a command to avoid this? https://github.com/masto/NSPanel-Demo-Files/wiki/HowTo Fixing the touch offset for EU panels: Add lcd_dev fffb 0002 0000 0020 to Program.s (at the top of the Nextion Editor)

Boot loop

Hi,

I copied your config and flashed it with one light only, but then when I power it with 5v the screen just flashes on and off randomly (staying on the Sonoff boot logo screen), wifi connects but the API port stays closed.

I then tried a minimal config, thinking maybe one of the sensors or services was causing the issue :

esphome:
  name: nspanel-lr

esp32:
  board: esp32dev

ota:
  password: "blah"

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password

logger:

api:

With that the logs on serial show a boot loop, with the below repeating endlessly :

[17:16:27]ets Jul 29 2019 12:21:46

That's when powering the esp32 itself with 3v on the UART pins, is that supposed to boot ? I can't get any logs when giving the whole board 5v through the bottom header of course so that's difficult to diagnose. With that it doesn't seem to connect to the wifi at all anymore so I'm not sure it's the same issue as I started with.

Any help would be appreciated, I'm stuck. One detail is in the videos I saw the bottom header has the 5v and GND pins labelled as such, whereas mine has 'TP7' and 'TP1' instead there. I'm assuming they're still the same pins and I've been using them as such (and presumably haven't fried anything since wifi did come up with the first config) but maybe I'm wrong.

Hi,

First great work! I try to upload the yaml on esphome after edited the code to fit to my sensor in ha..

As soon as i boot , after wifi connection i got this message..

Icons

Hi, very nice work btw!

looking at doing my own screens and had a question before starting. Is it right you can't use icons with transparent backgrounds? So you need to make an image and flatten the icons onto that, then cut those new icons out with the background included and use them in the hmi?

That sound very awkward to do. You have any tips on how to do that? both to make the icons and layout out in hmi editor?

Thanks!!

How to support toggling input_booleans as light switches

I love this implementation, but when I tried to convert a 2nd page of light switches to handle my heating zones defined as input_booleans the panel would no longer boot.

After re-flashing a working binary using my serial adapter I managed to recover the panel.

Is there a recommended way I could support virtual switches using my input_booleans or sensor templates or by some other means?

Factory restore for NSPanel

I am looking for a way to factory restore the NSPanel.

What i mean by factory restore is to flash the original HMI interface and the original BIN for the esp32.

Getting backup for the ESP is easy and i have done it. Now how to do the HMI/TFT part? or is there some place where i can get the original TFT. HMI would be much nicer but beggars can't be choosers.

Touch Hotspot are not in the correct position

Hi,

I tried to modify the HMI file but when I open it with the Nextion Editor (v1.63.3) the Touch Hotspots are not in the corrected place.

Is that intended?

Switching between pages

Hello. I have a question. You have a lot of pages in your project. But only 3 participate in swaps. How do I add a page so that it opens with a swap to the left and to the left, or for example with a swap to the top or bottom?

Using HA Templates

Hi;

Thanks for developing this, I would like to do my configs via HA as per this:

"If you prefer to set-and-forget it, you can replace the media entities, weather entities, light entities etc. with HA templates or input_text fields. That way you can re-configure everything directly from Home Assistant."

I have tried adding a binary sensor to ha:

- platform: nextion
  name: Light 2 button
  page_id: 2
  component_id: 19
  on_click:
    - homeassistant.service:
        service: light.toggle
        data:
          entity_id: light.jack

But I get the error: Platform error binary_sensor.nextion - Integration 'nextion' not found.

Any chance you could provide some info on how to configure the panel from within HA rather than in the esphome yaml file ?

Many Thanks

suggestion - variable timer for screen saver

Hello, Would it be possible to change the timeout for the screensaver via a helper variable in Home Assistant?

Thank you for making this project. I just found it, and I am thinking of more and more uses for it.
