Can I reset the ui_switch from "extern"?

[ctechch]

UseCase:

Toggle switch on UI => Deactivating by MobilePhon over MQTT
=> the Status on ui_switch remains unchanged (active)

or:

Activated by MobilePhon over MQTT
=> the Status on ui_switch remains unchanged (inactive)

Is there any way that the status can be tracked on the ui_switch?

Kind regards
Chris

Hi and welcoome.
You can set the switch to react on input.
Here is an example, copy it, press ctrl in editor and paste the example and press import.
