It has 68 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated September 7, 2026. Optimistic Feedback updates the Home Assistant interface right after a command, before the device confirms the change. It predicts the outcome of service calls for device types such as lights, switches, covers and fans, and works locally without a cloud service. If the device does not confirm within a configurable revert timeout, the previous state is restored, and a setting of zero turns reverting off. Entities that are unavailable or unknown are never given a predicted state. Configuration covers which entity domains are included, and a filtering mode that either limits feedback to selected entities or applies it to all except those selected. A debounce time sets the minimum gap between predicted updates for the same entity, which reduces flicker from rapid commands. It is set up in the UI.
