IR lights switch not added with version 0.8

[badabing2005]

It looks like with version 0.8
The IR lights entity is not added.

The documentation says:

Depending on the camera, the following switches are created

So I suppose somehow it thinks that my NVR does not support IR lights, which it does.
It is: RLN8-410-E
Firmware: v2.0.0.271_20092801

Can it be, for switching the IR lights you need to use the service reolink_dev.set_daynight?

Indeed yes,
This switch package works

platform: template
switches:
  camera_frontdoor_ir_lights:
    #value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('camera.front_door', 'ir_lights_enabled', true) }}"
    turn_on:
      service: reolink_dev.set_daynight
      data:
        entity_id: camera.nvr
        mode: AUTO
    turn_off:
      service: reolink_dev.set_daynight
      data:
        entity_id: camera.nvr
        mode: COLOR

The only issue is without an attribute for the value, the startup state is nondeterministic.
Perhaps once you support NVR, you can have each Camera's ISP values as attributes, and the template can get the value from it.

I can add the current state as an attribute indeed. 👍

Attributes added, please update to v0.9.

Awesome thanks, love it.
For anyone that wants to have a IR switch, here's my final switch package.

platform: template
switches:
  camera_frontdoor_ir_lights:
    # value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('camera.frontdoor', 'daynight_state', 'AUTO') }}"
    turn_on:
      service: reolink_dev.set_daynight
      data:
        entity_id: camera.frontdoor
        mode: AUTO
    turn_off:
      service: reolink_dev.set_daynight
      data:
        entity_id: camera.frontdoor
        mode: COLOR
    icon_template: >-
      {% if is_state_attr('camera.frontdoor', 'daynight_state', 'AUTO') %}
        mdi:flash-auto
      {% elif is_state_attr('camera.frontdoor', 'daynight_state', 'BLACKANDWHITE') %}
        mdi:flash
      {% elif is_state_attr('camera.frontdoor', 'daynight_state', 'COLOR') %}
        mdi:flash-off
      {% else %}
        mdi:flash-alert-outline
      {% endif %}
