A number of different things needs to be setup, if they are either not setup or setup incorrectly the NSPanel will stay on Initializing.

#### 1. Flashed ESPHome
Make sure you have installed the ESPHome config onto the NSPanel
#### 2. ESPHome Name
The device_name in ESPHome must only use lowercase letters, numbers or underscore (\_). If you use hyphens (-) then it will 100% not work.

#### 3. NSPanel added to Home Assistant
You must add the ESPHome integration in Home Assistant for each NSPanel

#### 4. Blueprint installed and Automation deployed
Make sure the blueprint is installed.

Make sure you have created an automation for the NSPanel and that the **ESP Node Name** matches the name from ESPHome exactly

Once these steps are complete the display should connect after a short delay
