Card_mod + template_card + thermostat card - 1 card out of 4 is not refreshing after actions

Configuration Frontend
1

I’m using some Shelly window sensors and would like to have a visual cue directly at the HVAC cards that the window for a given room is open. All of the cards are working properly, but the Master Bedroom one is not refreshing when I click a operation mode, for example (all others do…).

Any hints on where I messed up?

1.The code contains plenty of unrelated stuff like card-mod & mushrooms which distracts YOU (not to mention other people) from the main issue.
To solve issues - you need to simplify the code to leave only the minimal config where you still see the problem.
If the code was made by you - you know how to simplify. If the code was taken from somewhere - you still need to understand which parts are responsible for.

2.An inner card inside config-template-card (CTC) is only updated (redraws itself) when:
– a “monitored” entity is changed;
– after a browser’s page refresh (F5).
All entities used in the inner card are supposed to be declared as “monitored” in the “entities” option - otherwise the inner card may miss a change of some entity.
And now compare these 2 inner cards:

      - type: custom:config-template-card
        variables:
          LIVING_ROOM_WINDOWS_STATE: ...
        entities:
          - climate.living_room_ac
...
      - type: custom:config-template-card
        variables:
          MASTER_ROOM_WINDOWS_STATE: ...
        entities:
          - thermostat

P.S. CTC-related questions are discussed in a huge CTC thread. No need to create separate ones.

Thank you for your reply and insights. I see were I messed up, and the error was so simple it hurts. Spent too much time looking at it to see how in front of me it was :confused:
BTW, I did not want to spin any unnecessary wheels and make this a CTC (first time I heard about it) thread.

Once more, a big thank you for taking the time to look at it and help me fix this.
