It does not work with the hapanel. Please see attached video: you cannot choose a server-side panel:

No, try a different browser, e.g. Chrome.

there is no chrome on the echo show, just firefox

There is also the amazon silk browser, on my show 8 it works with habpanel via silk ok…

FYI: There is a workaround - save the empty default as a panel first - then you can select the server side panels.

There is a new Alexa Skill, which can open the browser with a defined web page. Maybe this is interesting for all readers here.
I use the skill to open silk browser with HABPanel page.

In combination with an Alexa rule, triggered indirect with an OpenHAB switch item, It should be possible to show HABPanel always on an Echo Show.
