3.2.2 NSPanel Nextion display stuck on "loading..."

[RubenJnl]

Since a few days I'm having an issue that my NSPanel display doesn't update anymore. After rebooting or updating the TFT from HA it's stuck on "loading..." I even tried flashing it via the usb -> serial adapter again.

I don't use a custom Nextion display template as you can see above and the device seems to boot correctly.

It get's an IP address and is reachable through the hostname & IP. Also the physical buttons that are configured to trigger a scene work.

WARNING GPIO4 is a Strapping PIN and should be avoided.
Attaching external pullup/down resistors to strapping pins can cause unexpected failures.

Can you share the yaml of your blueprint setting? Maybe I could try to duplicate the issue here. Have you looked at your Home Assistant logs?

Usually this "Loading..." state happens when the panel started receiving sintructions from the Blueprint to construct a page, but the communication was interrupted, either by a crash in the Blueprint or a network failure. You should be able to open the device under Settings > Devices and Services > ESPHome and from there restart the device. If it was just a momentary network problem, that restart should solve, but if it is the Blueprint crashing then you should have an error message in your logs. That error message and your yaml will help to find out where it is crashing so we can work in a fix to prevent that situation.

Also the physical buttons that are configured to trigger a scene work.

That is also controlled by the Blueprint, so it is working for some actions, but probably crashing when building the Home page.

I hadn't looked at the HA logs but there are a few warnings and errors, you can find them below.

I tested a separate automation for the display with the this blueprint

This is my ESPHome config:

Logs, since new clean configuration it all errors seem to have disappeared but loading screen is still there. Even after re-flashing the panel.

The Problem Here is you have Not read the instructions, or ignore it. It is Not possible to use "-" in the device-name.

[thesebastianf]

I have the same issue see comment: https://github.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint/discussions/595#discussioncomment-5543593 I do NOT have a - or something in my device name. My device name is nspanel1

as commented above this happens when the nspanel boots. when I change anything in my automation config for this nspanel and hit SAVE the UI does start to populate immediately. The misbevaiour only comes back when I reboot the nspanel. the workaround works fine ... but the issue was not happening in 3.1.0 definately. also the that on boot up the entry "blueprint" is blank was not happening 3.1.0

[edwardtfn]

@RubenJnl, I think @deejaybeam have an important point about the service name, but looks like something else is broken per your log on point 5. So, let's go one thing at a time...

About the service name, if you go on Developer Tools, select the tab Services and then start typing printf, the system will list all the services with this on its name. Could please share a screenshot of the list offered by Home Assistant? Something like this:

Take a look that in my case the name is hall_panel_... and office_workstation_panel_.... You need to use the panel name exactly as it is on the services name (in my case, hall_panel and office_workstation_panel. This is exactly how it should be in the field "ESPHome Node Name" in your automation/blueprint settings:

[edwardtfn]

The error I mentioned about item 5 looks to be related to the blueprint trying to set the fallback switch also using an incorrect name of the entity, but as I couldn't find the fallback enabled in your settings, I'd like to hear from you first about the name of the panel (my last post) and if the problem persists I will try to take a look deeper using a com outer (I'm using a mobile device now, so I'm quite limited, sorry).

[edwardtfn]

@thesebastianf, I would love to take a look at your settings and logs also.

[edwardtfn]

By the way, I've reviewed a lot of those calls to entities and I believe the Blueprint currently available in DEV will be way more resistente to those issues, although I'm not sure it will resist to an incorrect name of service, which I will take a look later.

[gintonic26]

I installed two displays two days ago. It worked. Today I tried to set up another display, and I am stuck on loading, triplechecked everything. I installed the new core update this morning and I guess it has something to do with that. My log always says: 2023-04-09 15:45:00.383 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation.nspanel_wohn] Error rendering variables: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'lower'

2023-04-09 15:45:00.383 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.automation.nspanel_wohn] Error rendering variables: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'lower

This is related to the Blueprint and updating HA core shouldn't have anything with this. I would expect lore details for the log, as this is not giving all the info needed to find where in the Blueprint it is failing. 😩 I believe the Blueprint is trying to call a value from a sensor which is not defined.mI mean, it is trying to access 8ne of the sensors that you select to not display on your settings. Again, the code currently in DEV fixes a bunch of those cases. That will be released some time soon and hopefully will fix this issue, however, if you can share a bit more info I would double check if the problem was really fixed. Sorry for insisting, but do you mind sharing your YAML with the Blueprint settings? In order to do that, you can open your blueprint settings, click in the 3-dkrs menu at the top right and select the option "Edit in YAML". Then you will see something like this, which you can copy and paste here... Just make sure you hide some private info, like a wifi password, etc.

... have an important point about the service name, but looks like something else is broken per your log on point 5. So, let's go one thing at a time...

@edwardtfn Thanks, I had it on nspanel_woonkamer when it first broke (got stuck on "loading...") but somehow I had warnings about that and changed it into nspanel-woonkamer without checking the requirements first. 🤦 I changed everything back to nspanel_woonkamer.

About the service name, if you go on Developer Tools, select the tab Services and then start typing printf, the system will list all the services with this on its name. Could please share a screenshot of the list offered by Home Assistant?

Yes, I see one small issue with the name there I can't seem to find within any configuration: The list:

Send text selected, here the node is called nspanel-woonkamer

In the meantime I believe I bricked my panel, failed update for the screen “System Data ERROR!” so I'm trying to restore it now before I can continue.

[edwardtfn]

Send text selected, here the node is called nspanel-woonkamer

The integration is called nspanel-woonkamer and the name of the device in the network is probably nspanel-woonkamer.local, but as this - is not a supported character for entities names and services names in Home Assistant, then this char is always replaced by a _ and any entity or service will be named nspanel_woonkamer, with underscore. This is not changing the name of integrations or devices, or even friendly names, as all supports -.

In the meantime I believe I bricked my panel, failed update for the screen “System Data ERROR!” so I'm trying to restore it now before I can continue.

A new TFT upload should fix this.

[thesebastianf]

@thesebastianf, I would love to take a look at your settings and logs also.

well nothing spectacular in the logs... I still have the nspanel on my desk ... so I can power cycle it easily .. I just powered it on ... and it got stuck at "loading..."

this is in the log ... a bit more I just copy pasted some of the lines ... but no error or whatsoever

[edwardtfn]

Ok, I see the name in your services is nspanel_woonkamer_xxxxxx, so in the Blueprint settings you should have "ESPHome Node Name" set to nspanel_woonkamer. Could you please double check that?

Also, if you go Settings > Devices and Services > ESPHome and click on the integration related to your panel, then click in Entities. Are the entity_id of those entities also named like switch.nspanel_woonkamer_nextion_inited, sensor. nspanel_woonkamer_xxxxx, etc?

[thesebastianf]

sorry you mix my info mit Rubens info.

My nspanel in esphome is "nspanel1"

My nspanel in homeassistant automation matches this aswell as the entities

[BitStab]

same problem over here - i've set it all up yesterday and never came over the "loading" in the home-screen of the panel. ESP Node name is "nspanel_kids" Current automation created from the blueprint is almost empty for testing purposes.

Logs on the device are totally ok... and i can't find any indication why it's stuck on "loading"

[edwardtfn]

@thesebastianf, what about the service names when you go to Developer Tools, Services and then type nspanel?

And how is the state of switch.nspanel1_nextion_inited?

[BitStab]

switch.nspanel_kids_nextion_inited is on here some screenshots to show the right naming:

[edwardtfn]

@BitStab, could you please share the yaml with your automation settings related to this Blueprint?

[thesebastianf]

I deleted my old blueprint and started over to see if the problem would go away ... therefore my yaml is almost empty.

alias: NSPanel Hauseingang
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: Blackymas/nspanel_blueprint.yaml
  input:
    language: DEU
    nspanel_name: nspanel1
    delay: 0
    weather_entity: weather.weather_local
    left_button_name: Garage Tor
    right_button_name: Garage Tür

[edwardtfn]

And if you press Restart on that device screen the problem still the same, right?

It shows the same version number to TFT, ESPHome and Blueprint, right?

[BitStab]

@BitStab, could you please share the yaml with your automation settings related to this Blueprint?

Here the automation yaml:

alias: NSPanel Configuration Kids
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: Blackymas/nspanel_blueprint.yaml
  input:
    language: DEU
    nspanel_name: nspanel_kids
    weather_entity: weather.zuhause_2

    entity01_name: Deckenlicht
    entity02: cover.window_covering_device_8
    entity02_name: Rollo
    delay: 100

on restarts it remains the same. TFT and ESPHome are showing version number 3.2.2

[edwardtfn]

Ok, as we are stuck here, May I propose something a bit more deeper?

Don't you wanna try the Blueprint which is under beta branch? We still having some bugs to shave, but I just wanna make sure we are not facing something already fixed. This is the link: https://github.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint/blob/beta/nspanel_blueprint.yaml

[BitStab]

Ok, i've setup a new blueprint with the beta and removed the old automation. Created then a quick new one using the Beta Blueprint:

alias: NSPanel Configuration Beta Kids
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: Blackymas/nspanel_blueprint_beta.yaml
  input:
    language: DEU
    nspanel_name: nspanel_kids
    weather_entity: weather.zuhause_2

After those changes and preparations i restarted the NSPanel, but the behavior didn't change at all...

[edwardtfn]

And still nothing in your logs in Home Assistant (Settings > System > Logs)?

[BitStab]

There appears to be nothing at all about the problem. It seems only the display is not refreshing after entering the home screen with the "loading..." notification.

[edwardtfn]

What are you using as weather provider?

Could you please go to Developer Tools > States and search for weather.zuhause_2 and then send me a screenshot of that (including the attributes, if possible).

[thesebastianf]

And if you press Restart on that device screen the problem still the same, right?

It shows the same version number to TFT, ESPHome and Blueprint, right?

yes on soft reboot or power cycle it is always the same -> I also tried to change weather provider --> same issue -> It never shows the version number of the Blueprint on reboot ... its just blank

-> if I swipe one page and go back to home the nspanel works.

so it is somehow a issue when loading the ui the first time after a reboot

[BitStab]

What are you using as weather provider?

Could you please go to Developer Tools > States and search for weather.zuhause_2 and then send me a screenshot of that (including the attributes, if possible).

I'm using openmeteo

[BitStab]

I tried to swipe to change the screen and on any screen appears only "loading...". Maybe this has to do with my minimal test config in the automation, but my device isn't recovering from this "loading..."-stage.

[BitStab]

UPDATE:

i was reading through other issues as i thought about changing the devicename from nspanel_kids to nspanelkids...

So i did the change, reflashed the esp rom to the panel, deleted the automation, restartet home assistant and created the automation from the blueprint using the new node name "nspanelkids" - IT WORKS!

So it seems to have a problem with special characters, not only the dash "-", but also a underscore is already a problem

[edwardtfn]

This is really valuable information. I will play a bit around this.

[edwardtfn]

Yeah, a million things could cause this "Loading..." issue, so I just wrote some text about this: #671

[edwardtfn]

@RubenJnl, you have created this thread, but I haven't seen you here since a while...

How are you going with your panel? Are you still having issues or is all good now? If the problem was solved, could you please close this thread?

[jrussell05]

Hi, I'm having the same problem. Page is stuck on "Loading..." on reboot. However, if I swipe then the pages load and everything seems to work. Here are some things I've noticed since the upgrade to 3.2.2:

Now on the NSPanel there is an "unknown" character in the middle of the screen:

If I tap it, I get this screen:

Here is my automation yaml:

alias: NSPanel Dining Room
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: Blackymas/nspanel_blueprint.yaml
  input:
    language: ENG
    nspanel_name: nspaneldiningroom
    weather_entity: weather.forecast_home
    entity01: scene.entertain
    button_page01_label: Dining Room Scene
    entity01_name: Entertain
    entity02: scene.romantic
    entity02_name: Romantic
    entity03: scene.dining_room_off
    entity03_name: Scene OFF

[edwardtfn]

Now on the NSPanel there is an "unknown" character in the middle of the screen:

This is a known issue and I'm pretty sure it was already fixed in dev, just like this °C units in your temperature taking more than the available space. It should be available in the next release soon.

About the "Loading..." when your panel boots up, could you please take a look in #671 and let me know if you get some idea about what could be the issue?

Which weather integration are you using? Could you please go to Developer Tools > States and then look for weather.forecast_home and send me a screenshot showing the current value and attributes?

[jrussell05]

Here's my weather.forcast_home

[edwardtfn]

Which integration are you using for weather?

[jrussell05]

This one:

I'm fairly new to HA. I've recently been migrating over from OpenHAB. Perhaps there's a better one?

[edwardtfn]

I don't think I can say one is better than other... They have differences, and the best one is up to you.

I've asked just because I want to duplicate the issue here. I will try it later.

[jrussell05]

Also, I've seen this in the automation page. Looks like some kind of undefined icon. Could that be related to that red icon on the NSPanel home screen?

[edwardtfn]

No, the red icon is related to a known issue which was already fixed in dev. It should disappear with the first boot after a TFT update, but looks like something isn't completing the process in your panel.

[edwardtfn]

By the way, do you mind removing some of those entities you have set? We can come back with those after the test.

alias: NSPanel Dining Room
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: Blackymas/nspanel_blueprint.yaml
  input:
    language: ENG
    nspanel_name: nspaneldiningroom
    weather_entity: weather.forecast_home

Also, if possible try to add an indoor temperature sensor. It could be any sensor, no need to be temperature. This is just to help me finding the bug.

[jrussell05]

Unfortunately no change. Here's my yaml now:

- id: '1679858160459'
  alias: NSPanel Dining Room
  description: ''
  use_blueprint:
    path: Blackymas/nspanel_blueprint.yaml
    input:
      language: ENG
      nspanel_name: nspaneldiningroom
      weather_entity: weather.openweathermap
      indoortemp: sensor.downstairs_area_temperature

[edwardtfn]

Don't you wanna try v3.2.3 beta?

We had lots of fixes, so it might have fixed this already or at least it will be the same version I'm using and would be easier to troubleshoot... You will have to download TFT files again and upload to your local server, update your blueprint (and ideally deleting your current automationk, if any, and creating it again and, in your ESPHome file, in the remote package area, change from ref: main to ref: beta.

By the way, do you mind sharing your ESPHome yaml? Just make sure to remove any private info like wifi credentials before sharing.

Yes. I'll give it a try and report back.

Here's my current ESPHome file:

substitutions:

###### CHANGE ME START ######

  device_name: "nspaneldiningroom" 
  wifi_ssid: "XXXXX"
  wifi_password: "XXXXX"

  nextion_update_url: "http://homeassistant:8123/local/nspanel_eu.tft" # URL to local tft File
#  nextion_update_url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint/main/nspanel_us.tft" # URL to Github

##### CHANGE ME END #####

##### DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING! #####

packages:
  ##### download esphome code from Github
  remote_package:
    url: https://github.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint
    ref: main
    files: [nspanel_esphome.yaml]
    refresh: 300s

Thanks!

Fot beta, you will have to change the file to this:

substitutions:

###### CHANGE ME START ######

  device_name: "nspaneldiningroom" 
  wifi_ssid: "XXXXX"
  wifi_password: "XXXXX"

  nextion_update_url: "http://homeassistant:8123/local/nspanel_eu.tft" # URL to local tft File
#  nextion_update_url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint/main/nspanel_us.tft" # URL to Github

##### CHANGE ME END #####

##### DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING! #####

packages:
  ##### download esphome code from Github
  remote_package:
    url: https://github.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint
    ref: beta
    files: [nspanel_esphome.yaml]
    refresh: 300s

##### DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING! #####

And you still have to update TFT and Blueprint.

Good news! All working fine with 3.2.3!

One thing that might help with debugging: I had deleted the 3.2.2 automation and blueprint as you suggested. I then updated the TFT and ESPHome firmware. However, I hadn't yet downloaded the 3.2.3 blueprint and made the new automation. When the NSPanel rebooted the same "Loading..." behavior as described above happened. Once I downloaded the beta blueprint and made an automation, everything immediately started working again. No restart required.

Great! Thanks for sharing more details.

As you are running a beta version now, please don't forget to mention this the next time you find an issue. And please don't forget to report any issue you find. ;)

Same issue here. Even renamed ESPhome to nspanel without - or _. i also used the beta versionm 3.2.3. When it boots its keeps stuck on loading. Only when i slide a few times through the empty pages it suddenly loads the blueprint. This behavior started after the 3.2.2 update. Blueprint version is also not shown at startup. Settingspage is also missing :(
