Odd Favorites Behavior - Is it intentional?

[chris.com]

My favorites tiles all have a horizontal white line that separates the icon from the name of the device. If I tap on the icon, it turns that device on/off. If I tap on the name, it invokes that device's dashboard.

I've noticed that when an item first gets added to Favorites, it doesn't have a white line separating the icon portion of the favorites tile from the title. (See attachment.) When this is the case, clicking on any portion of the tile calls up that devices dashboard. There is no option to turn the device on/off directly from the favorites tile. Not until that device's dashboard is used to turn the device on or off for the first time does the favorites tile get divided with the horizontal line. Once it has the line, clicking on the icon turns the device on/off and clicking on the name invokes the device dashboard.

Anyway... it took some twiddling to figure that out. Not sure if that's the intended behavior, but it was a bit confusing to me and perhaps it may be to others.

The "Toggle" is only available when a device has status. Status is needed so the app can determine if it should issue the ON or OFF command.  Based on the image provided the Down Bath Fan does not have a Status value.

So we need more information.  The root cause appears to be missing status.  Does the device have a status when adding to favorites, i.e. is there a toggle on the Home Tab?

All of the devices appear to have status on the home tab. I suppose it's possible for status to be temporarily lost for some reason. In my case, I don't know why that would be the case. What you're saying definitely makes sense; toggling would certainly require status. In any case, it's not a show stopper and it's fairly easy to solve. Easier now that I understand the logic behind it. Thank you @Javi!
