Hi there, it’s been a long time since I’ve properly used home assistant, but I’m back at my dad’s place for a week and helping him with some extras.
I have several scenarios where a ‘switch’ in home assistant represents a real status. The easiest example is a hot water heater time clock which has a standby mode.
Standby can be triggered by a button on the timer itself, or remotely including via home assistant.
The issue is, sometimes the timer doesn’t actually register the ‘standby on/off’ command and so, we have a scenario where the home assistant switch may show ‘off’ but the timer is in fact on.
I have no problem commanding the timer and receiving a response, so what I’d like is the following:
Changing the switch state in home assistant should show the intended switch state, but greyed out or otherwise obvious that it’s ‘changing to off/on’ rather than ‘actually off/on’
When the confirmation comes from the device, the switch should show the usual of or on icon, and be obvious that it’s indeed in that state.
I’m sure it’s very simple, but I can’t work it out. Thanks in advance for the help!
