what's going on guys I hope you're all doing well I've recently just done a video which shows you
how to set up ESP home on your NS panel but also how to set it up and use it with the MS
panel Home assistant blueprint essentially what this project allows you to do is it allows you
to set up and configure your NS panel all without having to write any code or without having to use
things like the next unit editor now you are just limited to the template that you provided within
the blueprint but for a lot of people that's going to be more than plenty you get access
to 32 different buttons that you can set up and customize and you can have them do whatever you
want in the tutorial video that I did I don't feel like I showed off the features of this
project enough so that's what I'm going to do now we're just going to quickly run through some of
the features and things that you can do then if you are interested in checking this project out
you'll find a link to it in the description below as well as a link to the video that I did if it's
now uploaded from the top then we've got the first page that you'll see and this is known as
the home page the reoccurring theme throughout the project is that you're actually able to customize
and modify all of the different entities and devices as well as the tax labels that you're
actually able to see on the screen so on the home page in the top right corner we can see
the current day and time to the left of that we've got the weather and this is set in home assistant
so it knows what the weather is for the next few days and if we select the weather we can actually
cycle through all of the current forecasts for the next five days just below the weather we've got
the indoor room temperature as well as the indoor room humidity and Below those again we've got two
tax labels for the physical hardware buttons so on my ones here you can see I've called it office and
R2 below those text labels are two lines and these lines indicate whether the physical relay is on or
off so if they're on they're blue and if they're off they're just this kind of gray color in the
very bottom left corner there there's a very small Cog icon and if you select that that will take you
into the kind of settings page and this page will allow you to reboot the device it will allow you
to toggle off the sleep mode so if you want the device's screen to turn off after a certain period
of time you can also adjust the brightness as well as the dimming and the dimming is going to be the
level that it actually dims down to after there's been no interaction on the screen swiping left on
the home page will take you to your first page of your four customizable Pages alternatively
you can actually swipe up down left or right to quickly jump to one of these Pages without having
to just swipe left through them all the gesture feature is a really nice addition because after
a while of using the panel you'll build a bit of muscle memory and you'll know which gesture
equates to which screen you want to display if I swipe left on the home page here it will take me
into my first page which is my front room and on here we can see I've got a few different buttons
so as I mentioned there's four different pages and with each page you can have eight buttons
the design that you'll see for each button is generated automatically based on whatever entity
is set so we can see here I've got a switch one for ones that are switches I've got light for
one that's a light and then the fourth button at the top in the corner here my room clean button
that's a script that tells my robot to clean the front room the switch acts as you'd expect when
you click it the tile turns on so you know it's on and when you click it again it will turn off
so you know that it's off with the light button you can click it to quickly turn the light on
but if you press and hold on it it will take you into the light settings page and on here you can
customize the brightness level you can use a color wheel to modify the color and you can also use a
temperature color slider to slide up and down to decide on whatever temperature you want the light
to be on if I carry on swiping through my screens you'll see that on my third page here which is my
office page I've got some other entities that we didn't have before so on this one I've got
some cover entities for my window blinds and door blinds again just like with the light if we press
and hold on these it will take us into our cover settings inside your cover settings you're able to
set the position or the height that you want your blinds or curtains to be open to and there's also
a handy button for open close and stop if you want to make use of those quick actions as well
as the features that I just mentioned there's also a thermostat so if you're making use of
any kind of heating or climate controls that you can control these using the thermostat page and
this will allow you to do things like adjust your heating level you can turn the heating on and off
you can turn your hot water on and off and other things that you'd expect to be able to do with a
thermostat card and I'm only just scratching the surface with this project there's still
lots of other cool features and things that you can do with it for example you can make use of
a couple of different service calls one of them allows you to play the rttl soundtracks on your
device so if you've got one of those 80s theme tunes that you want to hear then you can do that
you can also display notifications on the device so you can send some text and it will appear on
the device as a little notification banner and you can just open and close that as you wish
another really cool addition is the fact that you can set confirmations per button so this is going
to stop those annoying accidental clicks so when you press a button it will also ask you are you
sure that you want to do this and then you can either press yes or no to confirm or deny it
and there we go guys that's been a quick overview of the NS panel Home assistant
Blue Print blueprint maybe maybe this should work on that title so it just flows off with
your tongue a little bit better but that's been an overview of the project and if you
have enjoyed it and you want to check it out again there's links to it in the description below and
there's also a link to the video that I've done that will show you how to do all of that stuff
if you don't know if you if you'd rather watch a video rather than uh you know read about it

now you're limited to just using the blueprint temp
you're limited to just using the blue blue you're limited to just using the
blueprint I can't even say the word the blue let's let's start again
