[BUG] Fan detail page fails to load

[0x414c49]

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

(esphome-based fan) When I open the details page, the page freezes, and I can't do anything, for example, the on/off button stays "off" (the fan is on), and it won't show me the slider.

this is really strange,

can you rename fan.open_duco in homeassistant to fan.open_ducox and check if this issue persists?

"can you rename fan.open_duco in homeassistant to fan.open_ducox and check if this issue persists?"

Before you say something, I renamed it from "open-duco" in HomeAssistant to ventilator the result still is the same.

Flash the lastest dev version and check again

Solved the issue. Did you change anything in the Nextion? Although there is one small issue, the fan detail page shows a lamp icon on top instead of a fan.

[joBr99]

yeah, I did change something after the commands sending this serial message, Nextion is so buggy ...

I will check the icon later, could be firmware or appdaemon releated

[0x414c49]

Thanks Johannes. I hate Nextion, and I just don't know how you could make this possible with that!

Off topic: I'm not sure if you saw NSPanel Pro; that one has a real "LCD" screen and Android inside; I'm not sure if anyone can do a custom firmware release for that.

Thanks Johannes. I hate Nextion, and I just don't know how you could make this possible with that!

yeah it is definitely not suided for an application like this ... nextion is the maintainability hell

I thought of buying one, but after seeing that it doesn't have a relay I did not. It is a low powered Android 8.1 device, stock software is garbage.

Just got the sonoff NS pro trivial to root 😄 managed to get the HA apk on it and performance is ... OK but eventually out of memory / crashes it's another one of those cheap android 8.1 devices with 2 gig ram

Seems to be rootable, but to acually use it I guess a standard linux instaed of android would be better, which might also be possible somewhere in future, but do not buy this device if you are hoping for somebody to do this in future.

I'm not planning to buy one, NSPanel with your Firmware is awesome and at the moment is beyond my needs. The moment I got NSPanel, I was trying to hack around Nexiton but hell no, their editor is just garbage, You are a hero!

Where did you get that message about NS Pro? if there is path to root, I might try to install a lightweight Linux as my daily failure hacks :D

Can you update your app in hacs to main and restart appdaemon?

I don't have that issue with the lightbulb, so it might be already fixed.

lightbulb was fixed in #391
