Local Control Goes Further, Your Privacy, Your Rules -NSPanel Pro Series Major Upgrade

The highlight of this update (V4.6.0) is the Local Web Portal support, taking the device's local experience to the next level. As smart homes become increasingly common, local control and data privacy have become the top concerns for users when choosing devices. This update is designed for those who care deeply about local privacy and want to reduce cloud dependency – offering you a more autonomous and more reassuring option.

💡Why Is This Upgrade Significant?

For smart home enthusiasts who prioritize privacy and local control, this update means:

  1. Significantly reduced cloud dependency – core features operations can now be performed via the local web portal, keeping your data stored locally without being uploaded to the cloud.
  2. Data ownership returns to the user – your device data and configuration information always remain within your local network.
  3. Faster response times – direct local connections eliminate cloud latency.
  4. Home Assistant friendly – seamless integration with Home Assistant, with support for the Matter standard, making NSPanel Pro a truly local smart home hub.


🌐 Local Web Portal Access – No App Required, Manage via Browser

Starting from V4.6.0, NSPanel Pro can be accessed directly via a browser without the need to link an eWeLink account to add and control sub-devices – simply enter its domain name or local IP address in your browser.

What does this feature bring?

  • More convenient local device management – No eWeLink App is needed. You can manage NSPanel Pro directly from your computer or phone's browser. All operations are completed within your home local network, and your local privacy is truly protected.
  • Core features at your fingertips:
    • Device Management: Add and manage Zigbee and eWeLink-Remote sub-devices such as switches, outlets, and sensors directly through the local web portal, with real-time sync to the screen, making everyday use more reliable.
    • Matter Bridge: Enables easy cross-ecosystem local integration – all configured through the local web portal.
    • Home Assistant Integration: No App binding required. To sync NSPanel Pro and its sub-devices to HA, and HA entities to Matter – truly enabling local cross‑ecosystem interoperability.
    • Smart Security: View security logs, door/window sensors, motion events, and more locally in real time – with privacy truly under your control.
    • Extended Settings: Customize wallpapers, screensavers, and ringtones to create a control center that's uniquely yours.

Additionally, more features such as Smart Scenes are on the way – continuously upgrading your local smart experience.

*For a detailed feature comparison, refer to the Local Web Portal Feature Sync Table.

The specific access methods are as follows:

  • Method 1 – Via IP address: xxx.xx.xx.xxx
  • Method 2 – Via domain name: http://nspanelpro.local / http://nspanelpro-deviceid.local

*If multiple NSPanel Pro devices are on the same Local network, use the domain name with the device ID to access the intended unit.

🔒 Local Sub-Device Setup

As early as V4.5.0, NSPanel Pro supported direct on-screen local adding and configuration of sub-devices without the eWeLink App.

This means the Zigbee sub-devices you add can be controlled directly on NSPanel Pro without relying on cloud communication. Device response is faster, operation is more stable, and most importantly – your device data always stays local.

🎨 Personalization – Now Fully Local Too

The local web portal also supports a wide range of personalized settings, all completed locally:

  • Upload custom ringtones, screensavers, and wallpapers.
  • Configure webpages, temperature/humidity data sources, security passwords, guest mode, Zigbee mode, and more.

Make NSPanel Pro not just your smart home control hub, but a personalized device that reflects your own style.
