Lights from deconz component missing in `hass.states.entity_ids('light')`

Development

Hi,

I am a newbie here and trying to set up my first custom component scripts. I am stuck acquiring the entity_ids of all the lights.

Most of my lights use the deconz plattform. If I check group.all_lights in the web interface all the deconz lights show up. However when I use hass.states.entity_ids('light') or group.get_entities_ids(hass, 'group.all_lights') only the non-deconz lights are in the resulting list.

What am I doing wrong here? What further information would you need to help me.

Thanks

Johannes

With your custom component; when are you actually doing the check for the lights? Is it directly when it starts? Could it be that you do the check before deconz have populated the lights?

Good point. It turns out that the lights appear if I ask for them again later in the loop. So yes, probably they have not been populated when I ask for them right on starup.

Thanks a lot.
