The Sonoff NSPanel Pro Review in this video is actually a second chance for a device with a launch that was at minimum controversial. The idea itself of a small screen device to manage your smart home from is great, but upon initial launch, software wise, things didn't look too great.
the Sonoff NSPanel Pro was called by some content creators "beta product at best" and they were not wrong. many of the device features simply didn't work, some were promised to be added in the future and we were left with is over all a lees than satisfactory product. But seems like Sonoff were indeed hard at work.
Sonoff dod put an effort and listed to the community, they added feature after feature and fixed all they can fix and looks like this still is a work in progress. but today, at firmware version version 3, it seems like that the Sonoff NSPanel Pro is in a very different status that it was in its initial release firmware.
The Sonoff NSPanel Pro now includes several features that are so basic, i don't even know why they weren't there is the initial release firmware. features like, custom wallpapers and switching between zigbee modes to allow devices to act zigbee routers and create a full Zigbee mesh. Tile customization was also introduced in firmware version 3, making the NSPanel Pro a lot more customizable by the end user.
Another noteworthy addition in the Sonoff NSPanel Pro firmware version 3 is the ability to create "favorites" or "Web pages" and the NSPanel Pro will display them in a browser window. So, if you want to display your Home Assistant dashboard on the NSPanel Pro, you dont really have to do a lot of tinkering with it.
Overall, the Sonoff NSPanel Pro is still not perfect but it has come a long way since its initial release that's for sure. Now, with firmware version 3, Its definitely not a "beta product at best" anymore but it is suitable for a specific segment of the smart home market.
