I only have a single bulb so don’t have others to test, but if my light isn’t powered on when HA starts, it does not show as an entity (and shows “Entity not available” in the UI) until I reboot HA with it switched on.
As long as it’s on a start, if it then goes offline, it just shows as “unavailable” in the UI and then reappears when it’s powered back on which is fine.
Is this the typical/expected behavior? I deliberately want my LIFX bulb turned off at the power source at times, and this has become an annoying quirk that I have to go and make sure it’s turned on when I reboot HA or it never picks up the entity again.
Is there any way I can ‘poll’ for the device after HA starts so I can pick it up again next time it powers on? IIRC, this wasn’t an issue previously when LIFX was set up in the configuration.yaml, but only with the new ‘integration’.
