Hi, I want to set up a smart home here, but there is little information on which wall displays actually work with Homey Pro. My idea is to have a main display in the living area where I can control all the lights, heating, garage door, power outlets, etc. Does anyone have experience with this? So far, I’ve looked into the Shelly Wall Display since I like that it’s small and blends well with the wall. I’d really appreciate any feedback in advance.

No, as I wrote above, I want something like a Shelly wall display since it is small and blends well into the wall.

No you didn’t write you especially want something like a Shelly and small.  
But… whatever. The Sonoff NSpanel pro is an Android device, and small

The Sonoff NSPanel Pro does not have direct integration with Homey. While workarounds exist, such as using IFTTT to connect eWeLink (the app used by Sonoff devices) with Homey, these methods can be complex and may not offer seamless functionality.

Additionally, the NSPanel Pro functions as a Zigbee gateway, creating its own Zigbee network, which can lead to compatibility issues with Homey’s Zigbee network.

Regarding energy monitoring, the NSPanel Pro can display real-time energy consumption for selected devices, allowing you to track daily usage over the past week.

In summary, while the NSPanel Pro offers features like energy monitoring and device control, integrating it with Homey is not straightforward and may require complex workarounds.

Hi Peter,

Can you explain how you do this?

I don’t know the exact procedure, but I believe it should be enough to look up “SIDELOAD” NSPRO or something similar.  
As far as I know, Sonoff/Itead devices are Android-based, so once they’re jailbroken, they should allow you to install Android APKs. I don’t think it’s a very complicated process.

Just follow the link in my post above yours.  
The Homey.apk file you need in order to install the app, can be extracted from the installed Homey app on your Android phone:

> install Android File Explorer, press Apps, and long press “Homey app” and tap ‘Backup’.
