"This page allows you to control your devices"

Just started out on home assistant and after wrestling with MQTT auto discovery (still no idea why it wasn’t working or why it has now discovered the item I was testing with).

I’ve now got the overview area still saying “This page allows you to control your devices, however it looks like you’ve no devices setup yet…”

On the integrations pages I’ve got several devices setup, some hue lights, router, MQTT on/off switch etc.

What should I actually be expecting. What does this message mean, I have devices setup and no amount of visiting the integrations page is going to change that.

Am I missing the point here somewhere, or is it just a confusing message and I’m supposed to be doing something else?
