How large is the ESP file supposed to be?

[rudgej]

I have added nspanel_eu to a new folder

config/www/

and the file name is nspanel_eu-2.tft

This file is 6.4mb

When I create the ESP file is it only 1.2mb.

To me this suggests the nspanel_eu is not being read given the files size is too small ( logically it would be at least 6.4mb)

If I comment out the local file and use the download version then ESP home just errors.

If I enter http://192.168.20.34:8123/local/nspanel_eu-2.tft into my browser it says not found. ( the IP address is correct).

If I change the name of the nspanel to something else then I get no errors.

To me this seems to suggest that the ns panel file is not in the correct location on home assistant - I have put in into config/www/ per the instructions. There was no www directory previously so I added it.

The whole ESP file is

substitutions:

CHANGE ME START

device_name: "panel1"
wifi_ssid: "$$$$$$"
wifi_password: "$$$$$$"

nextion_update_url: "http://192.168.20.34:8123/local/nspanel_eu-2.tft" # URL to local tft File

nextion_update_url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint/main/nspanel_eu.tft" # URL to Github

CHANGE ME END

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING!

packages:

download esphome code from Github

remote_package:
url: https://github.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint
ref: main
files: [nspanel_esphome.yaml]
refresh: 300s

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING!

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thank you

So to solve my pwn problem.

1. The www directory only works once you have restarted home assistant
2. The nspanel location is used by the panel to download the tft file - it is not embedded in the ESP home file which is why it is small

Hope this helps someone else
