Please see this KB/FAQ entry... I believe it applies to this situation...
Question mark "?" shown on Virtual Switch or other connected Thing Tile
The ? indicator from a connected Thing generally means it is not getting an expected Attribute Value from SmartThings. In this case, the Device Type Handler you are using probably hasn't set a value for "attribute switch".
Login to the IDE, check under "My Devices", open the detail page for the Thing, and check this section, "Current States:
If you don't have a value for Switch that is "on" or "off"... then ActionTiles is going to show "?".
If it's a Water / Moisture sensor, we recommend trying to give it a little manual initialization by wetting across the contacts with your finger or a damp cloth. That will usually force an initial value to be sent to ActionTiles. This may be applicable to other Sensors too.
Otherwise... Please check with the author of the Device Type Handler or SmartApp that is associated with the Virtual Switch. Perhaps a value hasn't been initialized?
This is what is in the current states section;
I don't have a 'switch' option at all.
That output is really helpful, thanks!!!
ActionTiles can't display a value on a Tile for a Thing (Device) that doesn't have a current Value.
What does the SmartThings App show?
