Current Behavior

I have a lux inverter and aux_off_colour set to orange. When i have load it shows correct but when load is 0 it doesnt change. Not sure if im missing something?

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Expected behaviour

If aux is 0 it should be orange

aux_off_colour is correlated to the entity aux_connected_status, not to the power. Anyway you can do a sensor template that when aux total load is 0 then binary sensor is equal to 0, either is 1. Also, there is a bug fix related to aux color in the latest version 4.27.0. Did you do? Anyway it seems that aux_off_colour is not applyed when you set aux_loads more than 0. I'm not sure if it is the expected behaviour or is a bug

I should also add this only applies to the AUX icon when you do not have any additional aux loads configured. I probably need to make that clearer in the documentation

[EddieSpaghettie]

Ok so are you saying that I cant get the colour to change when I have the two loads configured and they are both turned off ? Will it only work if you have one aux load configured?

[slipx06]

Hi. No it is only applied to the AUX icon when there are no additional aux loads. Also as mentioned above it uses a separate binary sensor and is not based on power usage.

[EddieSpaghettie]

Ok I see its working now if you dont have separate aux setup then the big icon changes colour. Made a binary switch for it so works like that. Can we perhaps put a request in to also change colour if we have 2 aux loads setup perhaps. Same as how solar would change colour if there is no production

[slipx06]

I can look into that.
