Someone replied this few days ago, so… I understand maybe wav files can be played
Maybe @Milk knows how to implement this feature. I want to play an specific wav file announcing for example that the alarm was set to armed state. I think this could be done coding in yaml and here is where I am stuck…

eWeLink just announced ‘Zigbee Channel Management’ and a tool to help you find a better Zigbee channel for the NSPanel Pro. I honestly wonder if they fully realise what they’ve just signed up for.
Changing a Zigbee channel isn’t a casual tweak — it’s more like rearranging all the furniture in your house while everyone is still sitting on it. Some devices will follow, some will get confused, and a few will stare at you like they’ve never been part of your network.
If the NSPanel Pro is your coordinator, switching channels forces the entire Zigbee mesh to rebuild itself. Some devices will reconnect, others will need persuasion, and a couple will simply refuse out of principle.
If it’s just a router, it drops out of the mesh and all the devices behind it start wondering where their favourite shortcut disappeared.
So yes — the idea sounds nice on paper, but I’m genuinely curious whether the eWeLink team realises that this ‘small tool’ is basically a Try Your Luck button for the whole Zigbee network.
Every update is a lottery. Just look at how they complain about network outages that they still haven’t fixed.

With the small difference that in a real lottery you actually have better odds 
This is how they make users angry when what work doesn’t work anymore. I understand that we have test versions of nspp, but there are things that they broke and it still worked.
This is the setting screen in nspp. And it is not possible to display the list of cameras. Unless I create a tab where I add cameras.
When you create a card with cameras, the camera list works.
Is it because of this stupidity that I now have to run around the districts and set it up for everyone?
Somehow I discovered that the panel can play a wav file and you can iniciate it from HA. BUT, the file should be located inside NSPP and not in HA OS, soooo how do I get to upload audio files to NSPP?
I discovered this because you can record audio form HA MQTT integration with the panel and play it back in the speaker panel.
So it’s the classic case of I found a hidden button that does something. Now I need a second hidden button to actually use it situation
The fact that the panel can play a WAV file from its own storage doesn’t mean that:
- there’s an API for uploading files,
- there’s access to the filesystem,
- there’s an HTTP endpoint,
- or any kind of official entry point.
Buenas noches a todos.
Yo he subido archivos de audio con la app de Ewelink de la misma manera que imágenes para fondo de pantalla.
Debes de estar en la misma red wifi que el NSPANELPRO.
No se si te servirá para la función que necesitas.

NSPP is starting to really piss me off. The Zigbee network on it crashes, sometimes the demo starts as if it were reset, the connection between iHost and nspp doesn’t work. Another panel lights up and the speaker pops. The more updates, the worse it gets. Updates are already a lottery.

Yes, that’s correct. If your device is not enrolled in the beta program, the latest version available should be 4.1.5. (We are considering making the beta version more widely available based on user feedback, possibly within the next few days.)
If your device is enrolled in the beta program, the latest beta version is 4.4.0.
I will report this issue promptly to see if there is a way to retrieve the camera list without adding the camera to the split-screen view.
