HomeKit entity state desyncs after unsuccessful action

[without-yy]

The problem

I created a button in Home Assistant using command_line that never turns on, and bridged it to HomeKit.
When I click 'On' in HomeKit, the state does not update and remains in the 'On' state.
Based on a previous issue here, it's mentioned that HomeKit assumes success and does not refresh the state.

When testing with Homebridge, using Characteristic.updateValue updates the state, and the change is reflected immediately on the phone — Homebridge API.

command_line: 
  - switch:
      name: Test
      command_on: "echo ''"
      command_off: "echo ''"
      command_state: "echo ''"
      value_template: "{{ value != '' }}"
      scan_interval: 5
      unique_id: "test"
