This is our most common cause of issues and is the reason our instructions no longer point to downloading the TFT from GitHub, changing the nextion_update_url to host the TFT file on your home assistant resolves the majority of issues.
See points 2-4 from the [Installation Instructions](https://github.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint/wiki/(EN)-First-Steps---Installation-and-Setup)

#### 2. HTTP instead of HTTPS
While HTTPS may work for some users we have seen it cause a number of issues. Change your TFT file hosting and nextion_update_url to use http.

#### 3. Network issues
Check there are no issues with your network, bring your NSPanel and router closer together or try rebooting the router.
The issue we have seen with this is _connection refused_ or _connection reset_.

#### 4. DNS
Related to point 2, please use IP address instead of DNS. e.g. use http://192.168.0.100:8123/local/nspanel.tft instead of http://homeassistant.local:8123/local/nspanel.tft
&nbsp;
#### 5. Check the file size by downloading to your computer
Use the same url provided to ESPHome into your browser (in your computer), e.g. http://192.168.0.100:8123/local/nspanel_eu.tft, and make sure you can download the file to your computer and the file have the same size as the one from GitHub.
#### 6. Try an alternative http service. There are many options available for free to run under you local Windows, MAC or Linux machine.

#### 6. Power cycle your panel
Cut the power supply off, wait a bit, and power on again. It usually helps when you already tried many other things.
If your panel is already installed in your wall, you probably can still power cycle using your power relay connected to that room.

#### 8. "Exit reparse" button
One of the biggest challenges to a new user is to upload the TFT file for the first time. This is due to Sonoff using the [Protocol Reparse Mode](https://nextion.tech/instruction-set/#:~:text=20-,Advanced.,the%20serial%20buffer%20for%20processing) to control the communication with the Nextion display. This prevents ESPHome to communicate with the display using its default libraries and therefore prevents installing the new TFT.
With this version you will have a new button named "Exit reparse", which will send a command to the Nextion to exit that mode for a few seconds, giving to the use a chance to then upload the TFT file without the need to change your ESPHome settings or using older Nextion libraries.
