NSPanel Custom with HA Blueprint
Custom Firmware for NsPanel (esphome) and HA Blueprint with configuration of button, light settings, thermostate, colorwheel, colortemp, cover, weather preview, automatic TFT upload etc.
Why another version for the NSPanel? Well - all versions I've seen have been missing something everywhere. That's why I decided to create something myself.
My thanks to Masto, Marcfager, lovejoy777, Hellis81 and SmartHome yourself ( link see below) for sharing your code. Give them the credit they deserve, I'm merely a copy paste ninja. XDD
GOAL:
My goal was to create a version that could be quickly adopted for multiple NSPanels. In addition, the configuration should be as simple as possible. Therefore I decided to put most of it into a HA Blueprint
In addition, another NSPanel can be configured very quickly. But have a look yourself ;)
