Auto-entities with button-cards not highlighting

Hello,

I’m building a dashboard and can’t get the button-card highlighted when selected. input_select.scene_studio_selected is used to select a scene. When scene_studio_guest_bathroom_night is selected, the static card (top) gets highlighted, but the auto-entities card with the same state value (one of the below) does not get highlighted and I cant’ figure out why. I verified that scenes has scene.scene_studio_guest_bathroom_night

            cards:
              - type: custom:button-card
                name: Test
                icon: mdi:theater
                entity: input_select.scene_studio_selected
                state:
                  - value: scene.scene_studio_guest_bathroom_night
                    operator: '=='
                    styles:
                      card:
                        - border: 2px solid var(--primary-color),
                        - background: rgba(var(--rgb-primary-color),0.08),
                        - box-shadow: 0 0 0 2px rgba(var(--rgb-primary-color),0.15) inset
              - type: custom:auto-entities
                card:
                  type: grid
                  columns: 4
                  square: false
                card_param: cards
                filter:
                  template: >
                    {% set area = states('input_select.scene_studio_area') %}  
                    {% if area in ['unknown','unavailable',''] %}
                      []
                    {% else %}
                      {% set slug = area|lower|regex_replace('[^a-z0-9]+','_')|trim('_') %}
                      {% set prefix = 'scene.scene_studio_' ~ slug ~ '_' %}
                      {% set scenes = states.scene
                          | selectattr('entity_id','match','^' ~ prefix)
                          | map(attribute='entity_id') | list %}
                      [
                      {%- for eid in scenes|sort -%}
                        {% set name_slug = eid[prefix|length:] %}
                        {% set pretty = name_slug.replace('_',' ') | title %}
                        {
                          "type": "custom:button-card",
                          "name": "{{ pretty }}",

                                ],
                              }
                            }
                          ]
                        }{% if not loop.last %},{% endif %}
                      {%- endfor -%}
                      ]
                    {% endif %}

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks Goppi
