Showing Moon at night but says Sun

Any idea why the sun/moon setting is showing a moon but saying Sun?sunmoon

Thanks.

That’s just the name of the sensor. It’s the “Sun” sensor, which is currently showing that it’s night.

If you click on that picture of the moon, it should show you particulars of that entity.

Wow, that’s confusing. Why wasn’t that dynamic by default. Assuming it will accept different names based on state?

If the name of the sensor were to change based on its state, you would not be able to easily reference it in scripts or automations.

You can configure it to display in the GUI with the state more prominently shown.

Edit. Wait. Scratch that. The state was pretty prominently shown…as the picture of the moon.
