Home Assistant Installation Steps:
a. Install the App
- Update your NSPanel Pro to the latest system version.
- Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the dropdown menu, find and tap the “F‑Droid” icon to enter the open‑source app store.

- Once found, enter the app details page and tap the “Install” button.
- After installation, you can find and open Home Assistant either in the "Installed Apps" section of F-Droid or directly in your app list.
b. Configure Connection
- On first launch, the app will guide you through setup. Ensure your NSPanel Pro is connected to the same local network as your Home Assistant server.
- The app will automatically scan and list available Home Assistant servers on the network. Simply select your server and log in to establish the connection.
- If your server is not automatically detected, tap the “Enter Address manually” option at the bottom and enter the local IP address of your Home Assistant server.
