Interaction with actual devices and dashboards in C7

Greetings,
Migrated from C4 to C7 and created new dashboards similar to C4.
I'm having an issue with dashboards updating when switch/outlet manually turned on/off. Devices are all GE/Jasco and worked fine on C4.
Example: Have simple automation to turn on living room outlet (lights) when living room switch is turned on. I can turn light on with dashboard but if I try to turn on with the switch it does not work.
If I attempt to turn the light off with the switch when I retire for the day, have to use the APP, switch will not turn off the light.
There seems to be a disconnect between my dashboards and the physical devices.
Any ideas to solve this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Are these z-wave plus switches? And were you using the polling app on your C4?

No, not plus.
The switches are GE Z-Wave Wireless Smart Lighting Control Light Switch, 12722. Bought them on Amazon over the years, some as far back as 2016. The outlets are Jasco 45705 Z-Wave Wireless Duplex Receptacle.
I am not aware of a polling app. I haven't gotten in too deep yet, Just trying to get back to where I was with the C4.
Thanks,
Dave
