| EverLights v3 controller | Not working | Not discovered even with correct IP; closed stale, not plannedSaved copyThe problem I have EverLights v3 hardware and recently started using Home Assistant. I’ve added the EverLights configuration to configuration.yaml, but it doesn’t seem to work. The EverLights are not discoverable in HAOS, even with the correct IP address.

Limitations from the docs
- The EverLights control box status indicates if a zone is active but does not indicate the current color or pattern. The color and effect in the state attributes are based on the last execution of light.turnon`. If the control box scheduler or another app makes a change, then the state attributes are not updated.
