MQTT Switch - Separate state icons in UI

Configuration
1

Hi all,

I have created an mqtt “switch”. It only acts one way (ie issuing a payload and doesn’t follow the state of the device).

- platform: mqtt
  name: "Disable Motion Detection (Front)"
  command_topic: "blue_iris/admin" 
  qos: 1
  payload_on: "camera=front&motion=0"
  payload_off: "camera=front&motion=1"
  retain: true

But in the UI (where it has been automatically added to the dashboard), it is showing the state as two separate icons (both as flashes, one with a line striked through it). How can I change these state icons to be a single toggle icon like all my other switches? (it appears it is displaying as two icons due to me not having the state config defined in the MQTT switch config

I figured it out.

You need to customize the switch entity and set assumed_state: to false
