If you are coming from there, you have to chose one of the 3 options:

- [Upload TFT using **NsPanel Lovelace UI** tools - ESPHome version](#upload-tft-using-nspanel-lovelace-ui-tools---esphome-version)
|
|
- [Upload TFT using **NsPanel Lovelace UI** tools - Tasmota version](#upload-tft-using-nspanel-lovelace-ui-tools---tasmota-version)

## Updating TFT
|
|
|
|
### Common steps
|
|
|
|
1. Download the file [`nspanel_blank.tft`](../hmi/nspanel_blank.tft) from our GitHub repository.
|
|
2. Upload the same file (`nspanel_blank.tft`) to the folder _**"www"**_ in your Home Assistant
|
|
3. Double check if the file is available by trying to download it using your local url (typically [`http://homeassistant.local:8123/local/nspanel_blank.tft`](http://homeassistant.local:8123/local/nspanel_blank.tft)).
|
|
|
|
### Upload TFT using **NsPanel Lovelace UI** tools - ESPHome version
|
|
|
|
After following the [**Common steps**](#common-steps), follow the additional steps:
|
|
|
|
1. On Home Assistant, go to _**"Developer tools --> Services"**_ and search there for the service named "**ESPHome: DEVICE_NAME_upload_tft**" or `esphome.<<device_name>>_upload_tft`.
|
|
2. On the field `URL`, enter the url for your local `nspanel_blank.tft` file (typically `http://homeassistant.local:8123/local/nspanel_blank.tft`).
|
|
3. Press the button **CALL SERVICE**
|
|
|
|
If everything goes right, you will see the progress bar indicating the file transfer an you will end up with a black screen showing a QR code. Then please follow the instructions from [here](nspanel_blank.md#what-to-do-after-installing-nspanel_blanktft).

|
|
just replacing the file url by the one you have locally (typically `http://homeassistant.local:8123/local/nspanel_blank.tft`).
