I’m playing with a EPS32C6 to control a servo motor to automate my blast gates. So far my configuration seems to work but I’m having some trouble getting the UI to look/behave the way I want. Below is my device YAML. Under the device, I have this controls toggle, but it does not appear to stay in the On position. If I click it once, after a few seconds it will flip back to Off even though it’s not off. If I click into the control entity, I get a pop-up that’s a larger toggle button. Even though I may have switched On the servo previously, it should always show Off in here. If I then try to toggle in this view, the servo would behave but it never registers it as On. I’m guessing I’m missing something in terms of sensor in my configuration but I’m not clear on how it should look like.
