UI template binary has wrong state in core

[Mariusthvdb]

The problem

created in UI:

an showing it is 'Aan' (on) which is true, as there is an update entity being 'on'

however:

is displayed in the dev tools states, and as a consequence the conditions based on this dont evaluate correctly, nor does to show the right state-color/icon in the frontend cards

Can you show the full picture by also executing this query in the dev tools and by showing all entities with this label and its state?

[Mariusthvdb]

yes I will when the next update is there, currently all are 'off' and the state of the binary template is correct

btw, I forgot to mention that the one entity being on when the issue appeared was the diskstation_dsm_update

dev tools

template UI

manually updating that now to be 'on' forces the state changes, and does so correctly:

Facing the exact same issue. Preview shows correct state, pasting the template in devtools shows correct state, but the actual state is wrong - 'None' in my case. Could the usage of label_entities be the reason?

{% set entities = label_entities('LastMotion') | expand | selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on') | list %}
{% if entities %}
{{ (entities | sort(attribute='last_changed'))[-1].name }}
{% else %}
None
{% endif %}

Running 2025.1.0b6 right now. I believe this was working on 2024.12.x.

yeah, in my case it certainly has to do with the label, more specifically, changing/adding it.

My template got out of sync doing so, and required a restart (so not a reload of templates) before all was registered correctly again
