Updating light status

Hi,

I’m very new to this but thankfully with the help of this great forum I’ve been able to install HAdashboard. I’m also not very knowledgeable when it comes to programming so I may end up saying a lot of obvious and dumb stuff so please forgive me in advance.

I managed to set up a light switch to interact with my Philips Hue but if I turn a light on/off from the Hue app the dashboard doesn’t update itself.

Is there any way of setting an auto refresh or making the switch poll the light to check if it is on or off?

I’m guessing you are using the switch in HA and the switch widget. Maybe you should use the light and the light widget - that way you are getting the status direct.
