Light entitles "on/off" behavior

[blackax1]

If you add a "light" element you can not turn on or off the light like you can a "switch". I can turn them on or off by adjusting the brightness but not all light are RGB or even have a brightness control.

Same here, following this

I ran into this as well. Also the light colors appear as black for most of my lights.

You can switch a light if you add an icon to the entity. Then when you click on the icon it toggles.

@Cadsters why that does work (it does have some oddities) its a different behavior from a switch entitle and not what I would think to be intuitive

I've just released a new version that addresses this problem. Can you test your lights with it?

As I only have a limited selection of lights available to test this on, I've added a form to view the raw state data of selected entities.
You can find it in the development tab (open settings, on the bottom left hand side).

Could you provide me with your specific case and how you'd like it to be rendered?

It's a nice update however 3 of my lights changed into TODOs :D

I installed this application, added a light and few other entities, could do nothing with the light entity (turn on/off), decided this great project might have a long way to go, uninstalled it for now.

By the way: once the light is turned on (not by this application), the entity background wents blue. Next to that, it really does absolutely nothing.

Warning to everyone wondering about the email notification they just received about this PR containing an eth scam. Yes it's quite obviously a scam, do not click the contained links.

Here's how a variant of it works:
https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/109433#discussioncomment-8542441

Received 3 of them today (6hrs ago) as well - seems a bot just picks a random PR fill in all the data with that fake auth link and mentions a few people - then after the notification is sent deletes the comment itself.

Unfortunately there's not really much that can be done until github stops ignoring the issue.
