Introduction
After updating to the latest version 1.7.0, NSPanel Pro now allows us to control the Zigbee sub-devices in the Home app via Homebridge, or manage your devices and create more comprehensive usage scenes through Node-RED. Want to know how to set up NSPanel Pro to work with these platforms? Follow the steps below to try it out!
Work with Homebridge
Open the Homebridge page, access Plugins, search for eWeLink Cube plugin, and click “INSTALL”. (NSPanel Pro needs to be connected to the same local network as the device running Homebridge.)
Find “NSPanelPro.local” and click “Get access token”. (If “NSPanelPro.local” is not available, you can find it by using the “Search IP” below.)
In NSPanel Pro Settings–About, click device name seven times in a row to get NSPanel Pro access token.
Back to Homebridge, “NSPanelPro.local” will display “Obtained token”. Click “SAVE”.
Restart the Homebridge and you can see the device on the “Homebridge Accessories”.
Scan the QR code using the iOS Home app. According to the prompts, you can manage the devices in the Home app now.
Work with Node-RED
Open the Node-RED page, click on the upper right corner and select Manage Palette. (NSPanel Pro needs to be connected to the same local network as the device running Node-RED.)
Search “node-red-contrib-ewelink-cube” and install. After installation is complete, “eWeLink Cube” related nodes will be added below the left.
Select one of the eWeLink Cube nodes and double-click to open the settings.
Find the IP address of NSPanel Pro in Settings–About, enter the IP address:8081. Click “GET TOKEN”.

You can deploy different nodes according to your needs.
