What is the bug?

Hi Guys. This situation makes me cry. I have been a Blackymas user for a long time, but this time I can't figure out what's going on. I got issue in HA:

The automation "NSPanel Configuration - tvroom" (automation.nspanel_configuration_tvroom) has an action that calls an unknown service: esphome.nspaneltvroom_component_text. This error prevents the automation from working properly. Maybe this service is no longer available, or maybe it was a typo. To fix this error, edit the automation and remove the activity that calls this service. Click COMMIT below to confirm that you have fixed this automation.

And:

NSPanel sensor unavailable The sensor "Current Page" (sensor.nspaneltvroom_current_page) is unavailable. Panel: Nspaneltvroom (nspaneltvroom) Blueprint version: 4.3.2 Sensor's expected entity_id: sensor.nspaneltvroom_current_page How to fix this: Go to the device page Find the sensor "Current page" under the "Sensors" area (it might be in the "sensors not shown" group) Enable the sensor Wait a bit until the sensor starts providing a value (it shouldn't take more than half minute) Go to Developer Tools and click the button "Automations" to reload your automations

(but there is no sensor available)

In ESPHome nspanel log I have such entries: [20:42:59][W][nextion:317]: Nextion reported invalid instruction! [20:45:01][W][nextion:396]: Nextion reported variable name invalid! [20:45:01][W][nextion:396]: Nextion reported variable name invalid! [20:45:01][W][nextion:396]: Nextion reported variable name invalid! [20:45:01][W][nextion:396]: Nextion reported variable name invalid! [20:45:01][W][nextion:396]: Nextion reported variable name invalid! [20:45:01][W][nextion:396]: Nextion reported variable name invalid! [20:49:36][W][nextion:317]: Nextion reported invalid instruction! [20:49:36][E][nextion:260]: Nextion queue is empty!

I've tried to remove every autiomations, esp devices, HA restart, nothing helps. Sometimes NSPanel shows the ESPHome version, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it shows the IP, sometimes it doesn't. It worked once, but after the reset it doesn't work again. When I reset with the button, the screen brightness settings appear, but after reboot the initialization screen returns.

I tried to uncomment: - esphome/nspanel_esphome_advanced.yaml I added DNS names for all NSPanels. One panel started working. It shows the wrong time (-2h). I will add correct timezone to yaml.

Unless you have recently flashed your panel with the new framework and using a serial cable, you are probably with Arduino framework, therefore seeing the old version:

• 1821

Also, the support for Friendly Name was introduced recently, so there is a possibility that your panel is getting a new name now. If the problem persists after enforcing the framework (the change I've proposed above), I will suggest the following:

Reconnect the Panel's device to Home Assistant:

1. Go to Settings --> Devices & Services --> ESPHome
2. Delete the device
3. Restart Home Assistant host
4. Go back to Settings --> Devices & Services
5. Click Add integration
6. Select ESPHome
7. Enter your panel's hostname or IP address.

Thank you, it looks like it's working. :)
