Plugin cant pull data from HA with new version

[sylv3rblade]

on OSX, version 3.6.3.51 cant retrieve the status of entities

I can still toggle switches but

• entities that just pull data from home assistant just falls back to the default icon
• the custom icon entity that relies on whether the switch is off or not doesnt reflect any changes (but button presses mapped an action in HA still works)

on 3.6.3.51

on 3.5.2

lmk how i can provide more info. I checked on my windows machine and it's not an issue there

I posted on another post with this same issue, you can provide logs from HA itself from System/Logs and you should be able to find something similar to this:

Looks like the domain is somehow duplicated in the entity IDs.
switch.switch.kitchen_light should be switch.kitchen_light.

Next week, I will have time to take a closer look at the current issues.

I am having a similar issue on HA 2025.4.2, buttons "entity (generic)" do not work (Keypad actions - "short press") nor do they show their state.

[ahrens26]

Same for me on 2025.4.2.

Mines connecting to the server, since the logs show the API is connecting

Having the same issue, buttons still work, but not showing the entity state.

Thanks!

Having the same issues on Windows 11, if you revert to the old version it works fine. I am the one who tried to push the Elgato marketplace version to the newest on Github but soon had to revert.

[EisernUnion]

yes, went back to the sep 2024 version as well ..... bad it remains unfixed until 'next week', but it works with the old

I am using the current version for a long time now and had no problems so far. I am curious what the problem is.
Do you have problems with newly added entities or only with existing ones? or both?

[sylv3rblade]

I encountered the issue with existing entities, in my case zigbee smart plugs where using their power attributes

[MrPresident2]

Same issue, any solutions?
