Most basic input_boolean config not working

Dear All,

I was wondering if there is something special prerequisite to get the input_boolean working.

It looks pretty straightforward based on the documentation and other people’s work, but I haven’t been able to get it to work for the last couple of hours… (I am new to HA, but come from a strong programming background).

This is in my configuration.yaml:

input_boolean:
  test:
    name: Test
    icon: mdi:harddisk

This is in one of the lovelace views:

  - type: entities
    title: Settings
    entities:
      - entity: input_boolean.test

They pass validation, but on the UI this is what shows up:

This is consistent with the fact that the entity (input_boolean.test right?) doesn’t show up in dev/states either.

I’m sure it’s something most basic, but I can’t find anything on it in the documentation.

Or it may be Friday evening…
