> ### _**ATTENTION! if you have already installed the version "nspanel-lovelace-ui" from joBr99 on your NSPanel, an intermediate step is necessary - otherwise it is not possible to install this or any other version.**_
<br>
> ### _**The previous method of having the NSPanel download the TFT directly from GitHub has been discontinued due to a large number of users experiencing slow or failed downloads. Please make sure you change to locally hosted tft file**_
There are a number of issues that can affect the upload of the TFT upload, these are not issues with the NSPanel HA Blueprint project but seem to be common to Nextion displays and ESPhome. Not all of the below causes affect all users however following instructions in each point have resolved
<br>In order of likelihood:
#### 1. Using a local source (Home Assistant)
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)
<br><br>
#### 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.
<br><br>
#### 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_.
<br><br>
#### 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
