New **test version 1.3.6** :

- Adjusted on/off condition check for compound device (onoff capability) and device entities (manually added entities for onoff capabilities).

I hope I found all existing state checks now 🙂

Background:  
Until now the on/off check was done like: IF “on” THEN switch on ELSE switch off.  
So all other states than “on” would switch the device off.  
Now it’s checkd exact for “on” or “off”.

@JOR1: You can install the latest test version (sure via auto update, right?) and check the behaviour the next day. If there are issues please report here.  
I will keep it a test version as I’m on a journey next two days.  
When I get no error reports it will be released as live version at saturday.  
And many thanks for reporting the issue and your tests 👍

Have a nice trip… 🙂 Version 1.3.6 is allready in place through auto update. I will do more testing on some devices where I can manually add on/off entities. I’m pretty sure it will work as desired. 😊

Hi.  
This seem to work very well! 😀  
Did you also implement this for Lights? Tested with an IKEA lightbulb connected to bridge/hub. In Homey, the light still show turned on / off by HA.

I only changed it for switch (device, compound).  
I’ll adjust the light, too. Thanks for the hint 👍

While I read about this matter, my tuya PIR driven flows are triggered when HA gets offline or restarts, or when the HA tuya integration restarts.  
I think it is a similar issue.  
Can you adjust it for motion sensors as well, Ronny? Thanks!

I’ll check all devices for on/off state.  
Seems I had a stable HA connection while testing without unavailable state 😄

Do you think we can add roborock to homey from HA [GitHub - humbertogontijo/homeassistant-roborock: Roborock integration for Home Assistant. This integration uses your devices from the Roborock App](https://github.com/humbertogontijo/homeassistant-roborock)

I think you can just add it as a Vacuum Cleaner;

Then tick all boxes here:

You can use this common flowcard to call that service:

In your service the ‘data’ field probably has to be {“Targets”:“Keuken”}  
(Can’t try/test while I’ve a simple vacuum)

An idea is to add an [Advanced virtual device](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-advanced-virtual-device-device-capabilities-app-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198) to be able to command your various services of your vacuum manually using one extra device tile.

@Peter_Kawa Thanks for the support 😃

@Edwin_Biemond  
Just some additions…  
If you don’t want to have all sensors and buttons in your Homey device, you can add and delete these entities in device maintenance/repair view. So you can only add some needed sensors.  
To start your flow there is a integrated way:

- add a helper button to HA
- add this entity to your device in repair view
- So you get a ‘virtual button’ inside the Homey device you can create a flow trigger for.

Hi all!

I saw that @Peter_Kawa requested this earlier, but I would like to address this again.

Would it be a possible to use the `entity_picture` of a `media_player` and display it as cover art in the Homey media player?

For example; I’m using a HomePod mini, which exposes the `entity_picture` as an url:

```auto
/api/media_player_proxy/media_player.homepod_mini?token=202e3989b37XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&cache=22192448

```

It would be great it if the actual image could be shown in the Now Playing screen…

I’ll take at look at this.  
It seems every integration offers a indovidual attribute for the cover.  
No standard functionality in HA 🙄

@RonnyW It doesn’t support `entity_picture_local`, only `entity_picture`.

The url provided by `entity_picture` (with the HA prefix) is actually showing the album art:

 ![Scherm­afbeelding 2023-05-15 om 23.26.56](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/c/6c4d631fbca84ef494b9e27775c9d6a1749f5efd.jpeg)

When the player is **idle** , it’s not providing the `entity_picture` entity attribute. It only shows up when something is actually playing. Can that be the problem?

Here’s a screenshot of the dev tools while playing a song:

I am using Philips motion sensors in HA.  
The capability alarm\_motion of main entity is fine, but the capability of the second entity (temperature) cannot be added in another device (eg to a group\>) or recognized by another device (eg. Vthermo).

It looks like the capability value from second entity is too long:  
measure\_temperature.sensor.13\_terrace\_motion\_temperature

I am not sure if the discussion above addresses this, but I see no way to edit the capability. Tips welcome.
