ESPHome 2023.11.6 brakes my panel

[synack666]

After update ESPHome to 2023.11.6 my panel wont come back. Still in "initializing..." Have tried power off/on, and reboot. During the flashing after update in log was a "exit reparse". With ESPHome i can see logs wirelessly.

Any idea what could solve this?

[mariusvaida]

Thank you @edwardtfn ! It works fine now.

[smarthomefamilyverrips]

@edwardtfn Works for me also again now, thanks for the quick fix!

[edwardtfn]

@edwardtfn do have to use beta version or can let "ref:" on main

ref: main

[edwardtfn]

should i close down here, a solution has been found?

No, please keep this open until we apply the solution to the main code.

[wobi07]

logs_wobipanel_run.txt I still have problems! The display remains on Intitialing for me.

[wobi07]

Sorry the mistake is mine! Must have done something wrong. I just repeated it and now it works for me too!

[NC1609]

Thanks @edwardtfn! You are my hero!

[wobi07]

I agree with him! The response time and implementation in particular are amazing!

[marcinbojko]

I'd like to confirm, same applied here, extra lines, main branch.

I need to stop updating in the middle of the night. This fixed it for me too.

Temporary code

Just as a curious note, I had the same issue with my NS Panel and noticed after the ESPHome update that it had changed the device name from "nsbath" to "Nsbath", which made me think that caused the issue, since the blueprint was looking specifically for all lower-case letters. I changed it back, but obviously it didn't help. I also noticed that the Automation contained the device name and then everything else was blank and un-editable. i.e. Date format had nothing in the block and there was no way to edit it. Same with everything else below that on the page.

Adding your code fixed it.

My ESPHome page takes forever to load, as well. I see another update to ESPHome coming soon.

[edwardtfn]

I see another update to ESPHome coming soon.

Indeed. I just wanna make sure the fix for this Nextion thing would be included. 😆

[rasmus-wi]

Fix worked here too! I reflashed my nspanels with esp-idf framework a while ago, so I thought I'd report that the fix works with that, just in case everyone else were using the arduino framework. :)

[edwardtfn]

Anyone available to try ref: beta? If so, please remove the whole part with external_components and reference to PR#5829 (the hot fix from a few hours ago), change to ref: beta, clean-up your build files and install it (wirelessly is ok). Please let me know the results.

[edwardtfn]

I can anticipate it will fail with esp-idf framework. 😉 I come back to that later, but I will wanna make sure it work with ESPHome 2023.11.6.

everything fine with only ref: beta

Looks fine here.

[lloydbayley]

Yep! working here!

[drgonz0]

Beta working here too, looks good .

[synack666]

working

[Lice2]

Thank you now it works !!!!

[eavyon]

Adding that my panel is also working again with the current beta on arduino. No pr. Esphome 2023.11.4 for reference.

[edwardtfn]

Could you please try again with beta. I've returned with support to esp-idf, so it was a significant change (also for the ones with the standard arduino framework) and wanna validate it again before releasing.

I have few panels to spare, so I'll try

[kalagan55]

ref: main

Could someone please try adding this to the ESPHome yaml, install it (wireless is ok) and let me know the results (logs, please)?

external_components:
  - source: github://pr#5829
    components:
      - nextion
    refresh: 1s

Thanks a lot ! Should we leave it in the configuration for other updates?

[marcinbojko]

Works with

esp32:
  board: esp32dev
  framework:
    type: esp-idf

packages:
  remote_package:
    url: https://github.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint
    ref: beta

Reports itself as 4.1.2

[TahoeNL]

Changing ref: to beta fixes my issue, identical to the one reported.

[edwardtfn]

Should we leave it in the configuration for other updates?

I'm finalizing some tests on beta and wanna release that very soon (minutes, not days). After that is released, you can remove all this extra code added today. 😉

Awesome! Changed ref: back to main, flashed and working like a charm.

Reported versions: [17:00:15][D][script.check_versions:2146]: ESPHome version: 4.1.2 [17:00:15][D][script.check_versions:2147]: TFT version: 4.1.1 [17:00:15][D][script.check_versions:2149]: Blueprint version: 4.1.1

[edwardtfn]

Now you can set it back to ref: main and remove the references to external components I've proposed earlier in this thread.

[edwardtfn]

Thanks a lot for your support with the tests, logs, feedback...

[marcinbojko]

Thanks a lot for your support with the tests, logs, feedback...

Thank you for being here ;)

I have installed the new version 4.1.2 and compiled it with esphome 2023.11.6 I still get this message and the panel can not be addressed by the uart: [17:46:47][E][on_boot:059]: No response from Nextion display

I have tryed it several times - and I havel cleaned all build files... Attached you can find my log. logs_nspanel4kueche_run.txt

[xagos]

I made the following changes to the original core file:

• I have added the code for a static IP
• we are using the api/encryption/key

Thanks for this great work - I like this project very much ;)

[Zealand67]

I can cofirm that re-install ESPHome works with my panel since the 4.1.2 patch. I did not need to chnage anything on my yaml file.

[eavyon]

Can confirm that only ref:main without additions now works flawlessly.

[xagos]

Thanks for your reply - my changes did not make the thing work ;) They are needed for my typical setup - and I hope that the encryption and/or the static IP have no influence on the nextion-issue. I just want to point out, that there is a difference to the original file...
