In todays video we are going to be having a look at how to setup Home Assistant (The companion app) on the NSPanel Pro. This allows us to access and control our Home Assistant instances all from the NSPanel Pro.
In this video you will also learn how to side load .apk files, so if Home Assistant isn't your thing you can also use other apps.
A huge thank you to Blakadder for putting all of this together. A full and detailed written guide can be found over at his blog. You can find it here :

It's also worth mentioning here - You can revert back to the standard sonoff setup at any time by simply removing the apps you add and using the default launcher.
