NSPanel F-Droid auto start HA

Hi, thank you very much for using NSPanel Pro and sorry for the issue. Would you please send me the Device ID of your NSPanel Pro through private message?

Using now the latest beta version and able to set Home Assistant as standard home app. Although it seems not to stay in the foreground and closes after some time. It might be due to the fact it is unstable/laggy? Because when I push a button on it, it might take 3 seconds or more and might even hang or crash.

Please submit a log on your NSPanel Pro device through Top drop-down menu -> Settings -> About -> Feedback -> Submit. The best timing is right after you notice the abnormal condition.

How now the screensaver set? Have installed separate app for it, but I choose screen off and on touch on and see HA. What is the best option?

To enable Screensaver, you will need to:

1. Set Sleep to some time of inactivity through Top drop-down menu -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> Sleep.
2. Choose a screen saver app (such as Clock Screensaver) through Top drop-down menu -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> Screen saver -> Current screen saver.
3. Set When to start to While charging or docked through Top drop-down menu -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> Screen saver -> When to start.

To set Home Assistant companion app as Home App, the recommended way is:

Tutorial:Setting the “Home” App

Designate a preferred app (e.g., Home Assistant) as the default Launcher.

App Operation Steps:

Settings are not currently supported via the App.

NSPanel Pro Screen Operation Steps：

Pull down the menu, then go to Apps > Home App > Available Apps. Choose the app you want to see first.

Tutorial:Always Auto-Start on System Boot

When setting another application as the Launcher, the NSPanel Pro App now supports persistent background activity.

For example: When you set Home Assistant as the Home App, NSPanel Pro will keep running in the background, allowing Smart Scenes & Smart Security features to trigger and execute normally.

Note:This feature runs automatically and requires no user operation.

Note: we recommend against setting Home Assistant companion app as Home App through Top drop-down menu -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Advanced -> Default apps -> Home app.
