Do you have actual switch entities to control? Can you tell us now about them like what integration they come from? I am unable to reproduce, the issue may lie in the entities or integration providing them so we need more information to continue.

Yes, a lot from many different integrations (MQTT, ESPHome, Frigate, ZHA,...).

I am unable to reproduce, the issue may lie in the entities or integration providing them so we need more information to continue. I'm reproduce the same bug on a Samsung S23 ultra (Android 14 with same version of Android Companion App and same server).

What I could provide to you to help to understand this bug?

To clarify: does it suggest switch.toggle while typing the action? Or do you have to manually type the action and doesn't it suggest anything at all?

I started to tip and switch.toggle (and turn on/off) is proposed.

interesting, i dont see an error around entity retrieval but sometihng did complain about an empty string. Do you see the same issue if you create a entity state widget? What about in device controls do you see your switches in there? I would expect both of those features also wont show the switches in question.

When trying to create an entity status widget, all my switches are proposed and can select any of them without problem. With this type of widget, I also can control my switches when I chose toggle as action.

This problem seem only appear when a I try to create a action button widget.

Furthermore, on the Samsung S23, I already have action button widgets previously created that control some of my switches without problem, but I can't create new ones.
