#### 9. "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.

Once you have successfully uploaded any of the TFT files from this project (`nspanel_blank.tft`, `nspanel_eu.tft` or `nspanel_us.tft`), the reparse mode will be permanently disabled and this button is not needed anymore.
If you have your panel displaying the Sonoff original screen, please follow the following steps to install your TFT file:
a. Go to the front of your panel with a portable device with access to Home Assistant
b. Open the device related to your panel under Settings > Device & Services > ESPHome
c. Press the new button "Exit reparse" and wait for your panel to change it's screen to another page (which will take around 10s)
d. While the new page is shown (it will be there for just a couple of seconds), press the button "Upload TFT"
e. You should then see the progress bar in your display and after no more than 20 minutes the new TFT will be displayed
 
#### 10. Use an older Nextion library for ESPHome
If the error persists after trying all the options above, please try ending your ESPHOME with this and then press `Upload TFT` button:
