Switch toggle icon return to position "off"

Configuration Frontend
1

Hello everybody, i have a problem with switch. When I turn on icon, it still come back to position 0 after 5sec. I have no errors in log and request send succefull becouse output is on. When I click icon during this 5 sec, command_off request send succefully too, becouse output is off. What I must do to work it correctly? And is it posible icon automaticly refresh actual state of output when it trun on/off out from home assistant interface? Device is eaton easy e4 and i want communicate it via json API. Thats my code

- platform: command_line
  switches:
    sauna1:
      friendly_name: sauna test
      command_on: 'python3 /config/scripts/sauna_on.py'
      command_off: 'python3 /config/scripts/sauna_off.py'
      command_state: 'python3 /config/scripts/sauna_req.py'
      value_template: >
        {% if [V] == '1' %} mdi:toggle-switch
        {% else %} mdi:toggle-switch-off
        {% endif %}

response from command_state script is:

{"OPERANDS":{"OSINGLE":[{ "INDEX":2,"V":0}]}}

and when “V”:0 state is off, “V”:1 on

request of command_on and command_off havn’t response

Deja Vu… This was my first question when I joined this forum a 5 years ago. (Wow, I’ve been pestering people for a long time…)
I can tell you why, not how to fix it.

Home Assistant is not getting a state update from your device.

Surely the problem is -

  1. The response is JSON, so to start with you need to tell Home Assistant to read it as JSON:
value_json

Second the full path is:

value_json['OPERANDS']['OSINGLE'][0]['V']

[V] means absolutely nothing on it’s own.

Also the result of your value_template is an icon. This is not correct. The value template must resolve to true or false to indicate the state of the switch, true = on, false = off. The switch integration will then change the state of the switch toggle (this is not the icon, the icon is on the left).

- platform: command_line
  switches:
    sauna1:
      friendly_name: sauna test
      command_on: 'python3 /config/scripts/sauna_on.py'
      command_off: 'python3 /config/scripts/sauna_off.py'
      command_state: 'python3 /config/scripts/sauna_req.py'
      value_template: "{{ value_json['OPERANDS']['OSINGLE'][0]['V'] == 1 }}"

If you want to change the icon based on the state of the switch use an icon template as well:

- platform: command_line
  switches:
    sauna1:
      friendly_name: sauna test
      command_on: 'python3 /config/scripts/sauna_on.py'
      command_off: 'python3 /config/scripts/sauna_off.py'
      command_state: 'python3 /config/scripts/sauna_req.py'
      value_template: "{{ value_json['OPERANDS']['OSINGLE'][0]['V'] == 1 }}"
      icon_template: >
        {% if is_state('switch.sauna1', 'on') %} 
          mdi:radiator
        {% elif is_state('switch.sauna1', 'off') %} 
          mdi:radiator-off
        {% else %} 
          mdi:alert
        {% endif %}

Perhaps true in some cases, but I had the same issue with an input_boolean. (And other)
In my case it was a custom card or custom ui (not updated) that was the problem.

Just wanted to open up for other reasons, not saying you are wrong.
If it’s only this entity then I agree with you Stephen but if it happens to more entities then it’s probably something else.

Nope. It’s definitely this as explained by Andrew and myself above.
