Can someone explain this switch appearance inconsistency?

Hi, I have generated some YAML switches and for some reason they have different icons. One of them has a toggle, where the others have 2 lightning bolt icons. Whats weird is that the the same switch platform type (template) is generating different results. Ideally I’d like them all to display as toggles.

Any ideas?

The unit with the slider switch (RX-V2400) is the only one where HA has an awareness of the current on/off status of the device (due to the value_template).

The other two devices show up as stateless buttons since HA does not know if the unit is currently on or off.

Ah awesome thanks that makes a lot of sense… these devices will eventually get states when I go get some more TP Link HS110’s :smiley: thanks for the info, really helpful.
