light entities created by a Helper are not picked up automatically by auto-entities

[lblando]

Disclaimer: I am not sure if this is an issue, or if it is the expected behavior. I have searched, but I cannot find the answer.

The Issue
I have a switch, for example: "Office Closet". It controls a light, and I want to treat all lights the same way. Thus, I am using a helper function, the one built-in within HA, to turn this switch into a light entity. Notice the last row in the table below for this specific helper:

For clarity, the definition of this helper is as vanilla as it comes, with all the default choices and nothing else, as you can see below:

It seems to be working correctly, as the switch entity is hidden by default, and the light entity is the one remaining, as you can see below:

However, when I am using Auto Entities, I add all lights, all switches, and all fans; while excluding the light entities for the LED indicators on some of the light switches.

And this yields:

Notice that the light "Office Closet" is missing.

And yet, if you explicitly add it, it shows, as you can see in the snippet below (notice the addition of line #13 and its result):

Which yields...

My question: Did I miss a configuration of auto-entities to enable it to both "ignore hidden entities" and also "pick up helper-created entities"?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I had a similar issue, it turned out to be a browser cache issue.
