Switch vs Switch

[Micware (Michiel)]

Hi,

I have 2 identical Hue white ambiance GU10 lamps.

But the on and off switch looks different (I don’t know how to name this, so I made a screenshot)

I see no difference in settings or specifications of both lamps in homa assistant

does anyone have any idea what the difference is between these two types of switches and when will one or the other become visible in homa assistant.

After close inspection I see a difference. But I don’t know what causes it

thanks in advance for all the help

I think this mean that:

For the first image HA is able to get information back from the bulb to indicate what it’s state is: on or off.

For the second image HA is not getting the state information back from the bulb.

Maybe you could try re-pairing it.

I have this same after ha restart. After i use those lightning icons, they magically change to switch icon and stays until next restart

I notice that when I turn on the lamp with the symbol without the lightning bolt , the icon changes to a normal switch.

This is probably caused if the lamp has no power and a little later it does, but Home Assistant is not aware of this.

For now I can live with this.

This is related to mqtt integration. Try to reload mqtt integration and you will see that it takes some time to get all the info. During that time you will see things like on your post.

During that time, and forever after, until used
