Custom floorplan widgets not turning color

Is this because I am not licensed yet ? Floor plan installed nicely and widgets do work but do not change color when order is placed? I believe they should change color, if selected, and an order is made at the seat or table ? or is there ten more things needed to do ?

You can check statuses of entities. And you may search in forum about this.

Entity colours are determined by their state values and formatting applied. The defaults are typically sufficient (Settings→States→[Entity State] Status). There is also default automation that updates the entity’s state “Status” as things change.

I have noticed that I must physically select an entity in the drop down list when configuring an a entity button - just typing it in doesn’t seem to allow the formatting to apply.
