i also in same situation. which i regret
can i request for firmware update from 1.5.6 to latest firmware and i manually update it myselt.
If you search on the internet you can find both a workaround to them loading it wirelessly for you and the update file for 2.3, which I think is the latest
NB: it is a pain to have to do it manually, but doable. I personally think they should provide the OTA files so atleast we don’t have to risk using files from the internet. That way if they update a major feature we can risk the firmware update if we want and they have to do nothing except maintain a single webpage with the firmware on it.
that does not work, when get the screen with the chinese qr-code you cant connect with usb or lan, odb does not work
I’ve never managed to get that screen but I’ve read instructions on what to do:
“Luckily you dont have to reflash your device. If you see a qrcode in the middle you somehow lost your ewelink licence.
Try the following
- disassemble the unit
- power it up by usb otg cable
- try to access it via adb”
is that a special usb cable ?
i tried with a normal usb cable…

Yes, but you might be able to make one from a cable you have or find one in a drawer. There are 5 pins on all micro-USB connectors but normally nothing is done with the 5th. From memory positions 1,2 3 and 5 are full. The usual 4 are ground/voltage/transmit/receive but in a different order that I can’t remember… You just need to also connect the empty one to ground. It just tells the android device it is the master: commonly used to connect android phones to USB memory sticks, webcams etc. Otherwise android phones just think they are connected to a computer as a slave.
i have been searching. … but so far can only find ota 1.3.3
Not entirely sure where you are looking of for what but Male Micro-USB OTG to female USB-A are really common because they are often how people connect memory sticks etc. to their android phones. Then you just need a male to male USB-A adapter. Personally I’d just have a look through my Micro USB cables for one that looked easily openable and then bodge it with a knife and a tiny wire.
Hi Eerke,
Clear and Thanks!, but i am not technical enough to make this cable
But, no problem with buying one
I have a micro usb to usb a male (but as i said thats not a OTG cable)
I search for a micro usb(male) to usb a(male) OTG but that does not exist.
Can i use these 2 instead?
I assume i connect the nspanel pro to my windows 11 pc with these two cables
Or do i have to attach a keyboard ?

Yes, although the prices seem quite high to me. You can get USB-A male to male adapters with no cable. For less than €1 I think. Also the OTG cable seems more than a normal USB cable and it hardly any different, so shouldn’t be much more.
Color K here:

is €0.78 but with a minimum spend of €9.something.
And an OTG cable:

Just be careful there because the cheaper ones are USB-C only. €0.90. As micro-USB dies you might find that useful in the future.
Obviously you will pay a bit more because that takes 7 days to be delivered. I still think that is more than I’d pay.
