Install (compile) error - prebuild firmware?

[cthiele-mogic]

I have a Raspy 4 with 2 GB - each time i try to install the compilation stops on different files. Is there an way to use pre-build firmware? I don't want to change my HA Raspy only because compilation problems !?

The issue you are facing is probably related to lack of memory. Restarting your host system and then compiling right after the restart may help a bit, but you still at the limit.
Another option is to compile it in your local computer. It supports Windows, Mac and Linux and it's quite fast. Please take a look here.

We have worked in a pre-build firmware, but that never left the "experimental" phase due to lack of people interested. I never heard about any issue with that, so you can try it, but again, not that many people is using, so it may have some undiscovered issues.
You can find it under the prebuilt folder in the repo: https://github.com/Blackymas/NSPanel_HA_Blueprint/tree/main/prebuilt
If you go for that, please report any issues, so we can make sure it gets stable. 😉

Thanks for your answer. Ok and which file I should give a try?

It depends on which tool you are using to flash your device, but it will be between nspanel_esphome_prebuilt.bin and nspanel_esphome_prebuilt.factory.bin. If one fails to install, try the other one. 😉

Ok, done worked with https://web.esphome.io/ and nspanel_esphome_prebuilt.bin. After this I copied the configuration nspanel_esphome_prebuilt.yaml, modified device-name and wifi-variables and saved....device offline

Ok, tried again the "Install"
