Tuya switch state slow to change,

[Mannyk74 (Manny Koks)]

I am running some Tuya compatible plugs, for various things like lamps and heaters.

I had it working properly. But now, if I turn any of the plugg on (or off) in home assistant, the plug itself responds in a timely manner, but the device entity state in home assistant does not change.

If I look at my lovelace ui icon with a simple button, it does not change to show the current state of the device. Here is the yaml for a relevant button card.

entity: switch.88138834c44f33917a96
hold_action:
  action: more-info
show_icon: true
show_name: true
tap_action:
  action: toggle
type: button

Sorry I am a newbie. but, what am I missing here.

thanks

Do yourself a favour. Look into Tuya-convert. Run alternative firmware on your devices (Tasmota or ESPHome) that allows for local control. HA -> Device -> HA. Virtually instant control and feedback that keeps working even when your i…

Hassio is having issues with tuya since latest update, there are some threads about that… Let’s hope for a update to solve this.

Hopefully it will solved ASAP. Mines are not working properly since yesterday evening.

I’ve given up expecting Tuya switch state to be anything other than light comic fictional relief.

It gets “fixed” then short time later it stops working. Then it gets “fixed” and a few days later it stops working. Lather, rinse, repeat.
