I have just plugged in my first Smart Switch 6 and connected it to my HA. Rebooted HA and I can see the node. Ring on the switch is a purple colour. I haven’t changed anything from the default.
I plugged in a light and it does not work. Tried plugging in a phone charger - not working, i.e. it does not appear to be providing power.
I ‘set state’ in developer tools on ‘on’, but that made no difference. It seems if I reload that state it goes back to off anyway.
Tried plugging in a kettle, still nothing. The purple light seems to indicate that the switch is ‘off’, but not sure how I turn this on…
I thought I would let you know that Purple means it is indeed powered off. As for why HA is not able to control it, that is something much harder for me to help with.
There was some weird stuff going on with this. Having plugged the lamp into the switch and it not working, I tried it in another standard socket and it still didn’t work. Eventually after switching on/off a few times in the standard socket, it then started working, but not in the Smart Switch. Re-plugging it into the smart switch, seemed to cause it to not work in a standard socket for a few power cycles.???
So, I finally added a panel on my home page with the switch state and clicking on that turned the ring to green - hurrah!
Then a couple of additional attempts to get the light working in the socket and finally now it works and I can turn on/off from HA.
