As so many others I also went the ADB route to get to use the NSpanel Pro with Home Assistant, now that it’s a official possibility I of course also would like to get the v4 fw…

Any possibility for this to happen on my NSpanle pro with deviceID 1001ed017f ?

Just bought a new NSpanel for another project, making it 9 in total (7 of them run fine in their ADB configuration) and have to say that what an amazing work it has been done with v3 and v4 of the fw.

I really hope to get the old one menioned above up to v4 since the new one and that old one is for the same project.

Amazing work team!

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We have identified the cause of the issue. Currently, NSPanel Pro’s Simple mode does not support the Dynamic theme. If time permits, we will optimize this in version 4.2.0 (scheduled for December 8). Once the fix is released, I will keep you updated. Thanks again for your understanding.

Hello,

About the “Wave your hand feature” will be perfect.

to enable the screen instead of touching it, Android detect this already as proximity sensor.

One good news is the “Android Navigatio Bar”, i don’t know if related to your new 4.1.4 or the new HA app release, the “navigation bar” is auto hide when “fullscreen mode” is enable in HA setting.

and the area is resized to fit almost the entire screen. :smiley:

This is a popular feature request. We’ll work on it ASAP. At present, we are working very hard to prepare the v4.2.0 firmware.

Yes, clearly the title Auto Firmware Download has caused confusion. Please refer to previous disscusion about it NSPanel Pro v4.1.0 Release: New Features & Enhancements - #110 by p.silhan. We haven’t come up with a better title yet.

One good news is the “Android Navigatio Bar”, i don’t know if related to your new 4.1.4 or the new HA app release, the “navigation bar” is auto hide when “fullscreen mode” is enable in HA setting.

The glory goes to Home Assistant companion app.

130

better title can be : “Enable Update Installation” or “Allow Update Installation”

So, thank to HA team.

131

Oh boy so looking forward to the release 4.2.0

Thank you very much for using NSPanel Pro.

We are looking forward to v4.2.0 too, and we are working like crazy on it. It’ll take us 1 or 2 extra days to get v4.2.0 ready.

By the way, v4.2.0 will be released to Beta Test Program users first.

To twist the old saying ‘better late than never’… I’d say ‘better late than half‑baked.’ :slight_smile:

If this helps, this “Auto Firmware Download” toggle acts the same as driver updates for NVIDIA (automatically download an update, but user manually installs the update). The terminology NVIDIA use is:

Automatically download updates and let me choose when to install

That’s a bit long though, so you could keep the title as “Auto Download Updates”, but then add some hint text below based on the longer version provided I provided above.

On another note, I’m excited to see v4.2.0, as this should solve the majority of Home Assistant companion app issues and mean I can install the remainder of my Sonoff NSPanel Pro 120 in each room. :slight_smile: Thanks for working so hard on the updates, they’ve been amazing!

Will there ever be an option to adjust touch sensitivity? This is the case with some smartphones. My wife has trouble turning on the lights.

136

Thank you very much for your suggestions. After some internal discussions, we think it would better to rename the option to Disable Updates. The option works like this:

  • It is disabled by default (Disable Disable Updates by default).
  • When it is disabled, the download behavior works the same as before: automatic download and manual installation, also support manual checking of the new firmware and will download it when a new firmware is detected.
  • When it is enabled, never check the new firmware, never download the new firmware, hide the manual checking button.

Again, this option is intended for users who are satisfied with the current firmware, and don’t want to mess up with the new firmwares.

Oh, sorry for the trouble.

I will need to check it with my colleagues.

By the way, could there be other ways to improve the touch/press operations? Such as make the press area bigger? Could you provide an example which your wife has trouble pressing with? Maybe one or two photos, so we could better understand the issue.

138

illogical when automatic updates are disabled so let it check if there is a new one. if yes notify me about it.

if it is enabled then let it download and install.

139

I have a pair of touch-sensitive light switches where a light touch is enough to turn on the lights. With the NSPanel PRO, you have to touch and hold the touchpad for a moment (regardless of its size – I’ve already tried that). Some people seem to have less “electrical” sensitivity. My wife has a similar problem with her induction-controlled cooktop. For now, I’ve mitigated the problem by installing a presence sensor.

Yes, this interactive experience is not good. I find it cumbersome too. We plan to optimize it in v4.3.0 which is scheduled to be released on January 8th, 2026.

I currently have 36 Zigbee devices synced via Matter. The system shows that additional devices are available for sync, however I am unable to add more like:

  • L3 Pro LED strips are not synced (edit: after adding strips to nspanel screens, started to work)

  • Wi-Fi devices, such as S26 smart plugs, are not synced (edit: same as strips)

Another issue is related to state / parameter synchronization:

  • When TRZVB Zigbee thermostat valve parameters (e.g. temperature, mode, settings) are changed via Apple Home (Matter)

  • The changes do not propagate back to the eWeLink app

Any ETA matter sync for SNZB-02P?

142

Apologies for this issue. Currently, in iOS version 5.21.0, syncing Wi-Fi devices requires adding the devices (e.g., L3, S26) to the NSPanel Pro screen first. You can add them to the home screen or a sub-screen, and then sync them to the Matter platform. This issue has been optimized in version 5.22.0 (expected on December 25).

Regarding the problem of being unable to sync to eWeLink after controlling the TRV: May I ask whether you had a Hub when syncing the devices, or if you were using an iPhone directly? If you use the iPhone directly as a Hub, the iPhone and NSPanel Pro must be on the same local network; otherwise, normal control and synchronization will not work.

Thanks!

I’m using Apple TV as hub, it is same network as iPhone 5GHz 192.168.1.x, but NS panel pro is from different network 192.168.3.x. Will try to merge into same network :slight_smile:
