UI does not refresh automatically

I have hass.io 0.117.5 supervisor 2020.11.0
Its been running for quite sometime (of course with minor older versions),
all along I notice the UI, either on the home assistant app, or on mobile safari or on desktop browsers does not show the current state or refreshes automatically, here is the issue

  • I have to hit refresh to see the up to date status every time I want to know the status. (excepting the motion sensor states get refreshed instantly)
  • for example a scenario, when I want to turn on a switch/light, I go to the app or browser which always open on my desktop, I hit ON button, the UI shows that it reacts to my command and shows ON position, but in fact it does not, when I hit refresh the app/browser then the UI refreshes and shows that switch is still on OFF position, after then I hit ON and it works.

I am long time user of HASS and I remember seeing the states refreshes whenever something changes without me refreshing the browser.

I may understand the browser on the desktop may be blocked for scripts or cookies or other web information, but even the home assistant app behaves the same way.

btw: 90% of my entities are from vera, whereas vera’s own ui open in safari shows up to date when state changes.

Any advice. Thanks.
