To change from Celsius to Fahrenheit
Go on SSH in expert mode.
> rpi-rw
>cd /etc
>sudo nano mmdvmhost
Under the [Nextion] section add this line :
DisplayTempInFahrenheit=1
Control O
Control X

The "disk free" field does work properly if the Nextion Driver is not properly installed. The issue arises if the driver installer is used and the user does not follow the two additional steps required to move the groups.txt and stripped.csv to the /usr/local/etc folder
