Panel hardware

These pages record what is physically on each wall panel and how to drive it: SoC, LED control, sensors, buttons, NFC, Zigbee, relays and the route to adb and root. The devices ship with almost no public documentation, so the facts come from live units (rooted, userdebug builds with adb root, or unrooted units over adb), from reporter diagnostics, and from firmware analysis. Each panel page says which of those its facts rest on.

Installing, updating and repairing Panel Assistant needs none of the commands on these pages: that all happens in Home Assistant. The exceptions are two vendor firmware limits: some Sonoff NSPanel Pro firmware hides the debugging switch, and the Tuya TPA10 needs its locked WebView replaced once by hand. Otherwise these pages document the hardware for owners and contributors who want to go further.

If your panel is not listed, start with device profiles, which describe a panel’s hardware without building anything. If your panel has a camera that the Camera card does not offer, see community profiles, and keep any unverified hardware fact marked as such.

The support column uses these terms: full (inspected on a unit we run, with a verified profile of its own), preliminary (inspected on a unit we run, with its profile still experimental), community-tested (owners run Panel Assistant on it, with no unit of our own), untested (a bundled profile matches it, or is expected to, but no unit has run Panel Assistant yet) and research (firmware and documentation analysis only).

Tip

Before modifying firmware on a rooted Tuya TPA10 or Electron WF1589T, read Firmware backup and restore. Those Rockchip panels use adb reboot loader and rkdeveloptool rather than the usual Android button combination. The guide does not apply to the Shelly family, an unrooted panel or uncharacterised hardware, and it does not yet document a write-ready Maskrom recovery path.

Guides and tools

• Gaining adb and root access: the general picture, with links to each model’s route.
• Updating the system WebView: the most common first-run failure on these panels, with per-panel stock versions and known-working replacements.
• Firmware backup and restore: partition backup over the network and Loader-mode restore for rooted Rockchip panels.
• Firmware: the Sonoff NSPanel Pro firmware index and the flashing procedure.
• Third-party tools: every external tool these pages rely on, and what each is for.

Method

• Real silicon. Bound I²C devices are read from /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*/name, not from …/drivers/. Rockchip board support packages compile in hundreds of optional drivers, so the drivers/ listing over-reports badly.
• Radios. pm list features (nfc, consumerir, bluetooth, ethernet and so on) plus the nodes under /dev.
• Android-exposed sensors. dumpsys sensorservice.
• Control surfaces. /sys/class/leds, /dev, and each LED node’s own attributes. Some panels document themselves, for example the TPA10’s avsux_info and avsux_firmware.

Corrections and additions for other panels are welcome.

The Native navbar mode is enabled per profile, not tied to one manufacturer. The bundled WF1589T profile declares it because that firmware’s Android navigation bar has been verified. Other profiles can enable the same mode once their system bar has been confirmed.

Performance comparison

Three of the fully supported panels form a clear ladder: the Sonoff NSPanel Pro (PX30) is entry level, the Tuya TPA10 (rk3566) is mid-range and the Electron WF1589T (rk3576) is the most capable. Screen geometry is the first design constraint, and on the 2 GB panels RAM is the binding one. Figures come from the panel app’s own performance report and the device specifications.

Live snapshot

This is illustrative, not a controlled benchmark: each panel under its own real workload.

	PX30 (mostly idle)	WF1589T (active dashboard)
CPU	9 %	29 %
Clock	408 MHz (of 1512)	big cores 1608 MHz (of 2112)
RAM used	508 / 1960 MB	2265 / 3897 MB
Temperature	49 °C	63 °C
Responsiveness	smooth, main thread 3.6 %	smooth, main thread 25.9 %

The TPA10 sits between the two on CPU.

Practical deployment

• Screen geometry is the first design constraint. The NSPanel Pro’s 480×480 square (480 dp) fits only a single narrow column. The TPA10’s 10.1 in 1920×1200 display is roomy enough for multi-column dashboards. The WF1589T ships at a low base logical density, so its UI is tiny until raised. Design the dashboard to the panel’s dp canvas and aspect ratio, not its raw pixel count. Android’s base logical DPI is a layout setting, not physical PPI.
• On the 2 GB panels (PX30, TPA10), RAM is the binding constraint. The dashboard WebView, Android and any background apps share about 2 GB. Heavy dashboards with many cards, large images, long history graphs or expensive custom cards trigger WebView reloads and jank. The WF1589T’s 4 GB largely removes this pressure.
• The NSPanel Pro has the slowest CPU of the three (Cortex-A35), so transitions and animations are visibly slower than on A55 or A72 units. Keep its dashboards the leanest.
• With the built-in renderer, filter the Home Assistant entity subscription before simplifying a dashboard or replacing the panel. Automatic entity learning keeps unrelated states from reaching the WebView while the panel’s normal Home Assistant connection stays as it is. See Performance tuning.
• The panel app measures the remaining bottlenecks. Dashboard response time, unexpected reloads, CPU clock and throttling, memory pressure, the busiest processes and WebView rendering metrics help separate hardware limits from an expensive dashboard or excessive data.
