virtual switch is not visible

I programed a device with two switches: one is a typical GPIO switch, the other is a virtual (platform) switch. esphome log shows the following:
[19:52:55][C][gpio.output:010]: GPIO Binary Output:
[19:52:55][C][gpio.output:011]: Pin: GPIO5 (Mode: OUTPUT, INVERTED)
[19:52:55][C][switch.gpio:048]: GPIO Switch 'gpio switch'
[19:52:55][C][switch.gpio:049]: Pin: GPIO12 (Mode: OUTPUT)
[19:52:55][C][switch.gpio:071]: Restore Mode: Restore (Defaults to OFF)
[19:52:55][C][template.switch:058]: Template Switch 'virtual switch'
[19:52:55][C][template.switch:059]: Restore State: NO
[19:52:55][C][template.switch:060]: Optimistic: NO

esphome-ts found the GPIO switch and is able to control it as expected. However, esphome-ts didn't "see" the virtual switch. Is this normal?

Hey, you can try the code I wrote over here for homebridge-esphome-ts. https://github.com/lucavb/homebridge-esphome-ts/blob/master/src/shared/debug.ts

This roughly shows you what you can do to get the raw data that it receives. You can then upload this file here and I can maybe see somethign. Depending on how tech savvy you are, you can also try to parse this data then again yourself. You probably interested in what data you are getting for https://github.com/lucavb/esphome-ts/blob/master/src/api/requestResponseMatching.ts#L18 . But bottom line should be something like this const res = ListEntitiesSwitchResponse.decode(Uint8Array.of([/* your bytes */])); if you check out the code for esphome-ts and put the bytes you get with the homebridge-esphome-ts code in there.
