The idea of the device is brilliant and out of the box meant to work with other sonoff Wifi devices and to manage sonoff wifi lights, etc.I personally use it with home assistant and flashed it with ESP Home ( you find videos on youtube for it ) and so it works as a local switch with display for me, which allows me to control scenes and other things such as lights and curtains.For that price, there is currently nothing else out there, that could compete.
I bought this NSPanel just as an experiment.I have many sonoff mini around the home and i loved the idea that i could control them from a single physical interface.It works great and it will improve with newer announced firmware.In the future i will try it as a thermostat device, but for now i just use it as a dashboard.
Whether you prefer to use the stock firmware with the eWeLink app and Sonoff cloud. Or should you prefer to flash custom firmware and GUI, Sonoff gives you this choice. That is a very rare feature and well worth the very reasonable price. No soldering required.The NSPanel is perfect for Home Assistant using Tasmota or ESPHome and there is active development for both. Upload your favorite icons to the Nextion Editor and away you go.I have this installed in a two gang box with a Panduit center plate and this works great.Well worth the five stars considering it will provide not only LED light switching with the physical buttons, but music control, alarm keypard, and smart switch control. A tinkerers delight.
This product is remarkable and a must for the modern home. Integration and installation worked as advertised, and would recommend this product to anyone looking to upgrade their home automation system. product is great, came much longer, than promissed, but finally its here and working as expected! recommended!
