# NSPanelPro-Config

Based on the great work of Blakadder and others.

⚠️ Register the device with eWe Link app before activating the developer mode!!!

## Activating Android Debug Bridge

⚠️ You will not be able to run any updates after this so easily (see [nspanel_pro_roottool_apk](https://github.com/seaky/nspanel_pro_roottool_apk)), so do that first. E.g. ZigBee router mode requires v2.2.

- connect a USB cable to the device
- run `adb connect <ip>` and `adb tcpip 5555`

see https://blakadder.com/nspanel-pro-sideload/#disassembly

## Switch NSPanel to ZigBee router mode

⚠️ This resets the panel, so do that first.

⚠️ This required at least v2.2 of the eWe Link app. If you happen to have the adb active and a lower version, [this](https://github.com/seaky/nspanel_pro_roottool_apk) might help.

- Open the eWe Link app on the phone
- select the device (eweLinkController app needs to  be running on the panel)
- select settings via `...`
- select pilot functions
- select ZigBee mode
- activate `router mode`

Device will restart and will be reset.
