Operating Instructions
1. All-in-One Control Center
The NSPanel acts as a central control hub for your smart home. It allows for one-tap activation of specific scene modes and is compatible with most SONOFF devices, enabling centralized control of device groups.

2. Smart Temperature Control
Utilize the built-in thermostat to set desired indoor temperatures for different time periods. The NSPanel will automatically activate heating or cooling equipment to maintain a comfortable room temperature based on your settings.

3. Time, Weather, and Temperature Display
With integrated sensors and Wi-Fi connectivity, the NSPanel provides real-time updates for weather conditions, indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, current time, and date.

4. Multiple Control Methods
Control your NSPanel and connected devices using various methods:
- Dual-Channel Switches: Physical buttons on the panel for direct control.
- Touchscreen: Interactive display for managing devices and settings.
- eWeLink App: Remote control via your smartphone.
- Voice Control: Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Siri Shortcuts.
