Entity Issues

Entity States Not Updating

Symptoms: Card shows old/stale entity states

Solutions:

1. Check entity availability: Ensure entities are responsive
2. Restart integration: Restart relevant integrations
3. Check network: Verify device connectivity
4. Force update: Use Developer Tools to update entities

Automation Not Triggered

Symptoms: Tap/hold actions don't work

Solutions:

1. Check action syntax:

tap_action:
  action: toggle # Correct action name
  # not: turn_on        # Use 'toggle' instead

1. Verify permissions: Ensure user has control permissions
2. Check entity domains: Some actions only work with specific domains
3. Test manually: Try action in Developer Tools

Custom Attributes Missing

Symptoms: Entity attributes like on_color not working

Solutions:

1. Check customize location: Attributes must be in customize.yaml or configuration.yaml
2. Verify entity ID: Must match exactly (case-sensitive)
3. Restart required: Restart HA after customize changes
4. Check syntax:

   customize:
     light.living_room: # Exact entity ID
       on_color: yellow # Correct attribute name
