Hello to all,
I wonder why a template switch with no value_template does not display as a toggle. Here is the case. With the following code, entities card displays the switch as expected
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
ev_id1:
unique_id: ev_id1
friendly_name: non raccordé
value_template: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.ev_id1_ack', 'on') }}"
turn_on:
service: rest_command.ipx800_v3_relay_set
data:
ip: "192.168.21.209"
relay: "1"
state: "1"
turn_off:
service: rest_command.ipx800_v3_relay_set
data:
ip: "192.168.21.209"
relay: "1"
state: "0"
With value_template commented out, it displays as per the following
Instead if light domain is used, whether value_template is set or not, entity is always displayed as a toggle switch.
I can certainly use the light domain instead of switch, but before doing so, I’d like to know whether this behaviour is expected or is there another way to achieve the expected display?
There is a very specific reason why I do not want to set value_template, hence the question.
Thank you
