Product description
Open Nextion Genius Series is a series of integrated HMI terminals based on ESP32-S3, designed for projects with a touch screen, wireless communication, and extensive peripherals. Compared to classic Nextion modules, the Open Nextion series offers greater programming flexibility and more hardware interfaces.
The ONX2432G028 model is suitable for control panels, smart home gateways, lighting controllers, industrial interfaces, and IoT devices requiring a compact GUI. The module is not compatible with the Nextion Editor environment intended for the original Nextion series.

Programming platform
ONX2432G028 can be programmed in Arduino IDE or ESP-IDF. Arduino IDE facilitates rapid prototyping and interface startup, while ESP-IDF provides greater control over hardware, performance, and system configuration.
- Arduino IDE: a good solution for rapid prototyping and educational projects.
- ESP-IDF: recommended for advanced applications, performance optimization, and production projects.
- LVGL: possibility to create graphical interfaces for the SPI touch screen.
Application
- compact smart home control panels,
- IoT gateways with a local touch interface,
- lighting and automation controllers,
- HMI terminals for industrial devices,
- projects with a camera, microphone, and audio support,
- applications with Wi-Fi, BLE, and a graphical display.
