Android: Entity state widget shows N/A when brightness is selected for attribute

[dshokouhi]

Home Assistant Android version:
2.0.0-2-gd747afd-237-full
Android version:
10
Phone model:
Pixel 4 XL
Home Assistant version:
0.113.3
Last working Home Assistant release (if known):
N/A
Description of problem:

I just setup the new entity state widget and I noticed that when I selected brightness as an attribute to display along with my zwave light status the widget shows as N/A. If I change the attribute to say the Friendly Name it will display correctly, despite needing a missing space :)

Traceback (if applicable):

Screenshot of problem:

Here is what I see when I select brightness as an attribute

This is the widget data I used for the above screenshot

Here is an example of it working with the friendly name

Maybe @colincachia can take a look?

Maybe @colincachia can take a look?

Sure, I can have a look.

@dshokouhi would you mind pasting the value of the brightness attribute for your selected entity from the HA Developer Tools?

[dshokouhi]

@colincachia sure its for my zwave light switches. Keep in mind that brightness is only displayed when the entity is turned on.

Here is the attribute:
brightness: 255

For my test as you can see in the 2 screenshots up above that the light was on so the attribute should be visible.

Edit: I also tested it against another zwave light switch with a different brightness level with the same N/A result

brightness: 103

Tapping on the widget should also update the value displayed. Can you confirm that in a scenario where the switch is on (i.e. brightness value should be present), tapping the widget updates the value correctly?

If that is the case I can simply default to something else than "N/A"

Tapping on the widget should also update the value displayed.

Good to know will update my PR with that tidbit! Otherwise it updates every 30 minutes right?

Can you confirm that in a scenario where the switch is on (i.e. brightness value should be present), tapping the widget updates the value correctly?

Unfortunately for me when I tap on the widget the value stays as N/A even with the light on

Keep in mind also that even the widget label of test is missing as well

Here is a side by side comparison of when I select brightness or friendly_name:

Thanks for the info, will come up with a fix later on 🙂

@colincachia so I noticed that when my light turned off the widget updated on its own but the app was killed.

When I launch the app, turn on the light and tap on the widget I see the following error which means I need to start the app again.

Here is the fatal error I encountered when I grab the latest logcat

Let me know if you need anything else pulled but I think this should be helpful to start :)

Edit: Here is where it got killed

It looks like only the attribute is having an issue. Just now I tried to set a static widget for my thermostat with the attribute being the current_temperature and saw the same N/A error. When I create a static widget based on the sensor state which is numeric it seems to be fine.

Fixed in #702
