Lights turning off during restart

[chupacabra71]

Description

Whenever there is an HA restart, lights controlled by EC turn off. it seems to happen on a transition to idle even though i don't have a behavior set up for on_enter_idle. It is most likely a configuration issue on my side, but thought i'd check here.

Configuration

entity_controller_motion_kitchen:
  friendly_name: "Kitchen Motion Controller"
  sensor: 
    - binary_sensor.kitchen_motion_any
  entity: 
    - light.kitchen_lights
  overrides:
    - input_boolean.entity_controller_motion_kitchen_override
  sensor_type: duration
  sensor_resets_timer: True
  delay: 600
#  end_time_action: "off"
  backoff: true
  backoff_factor: 1.2
  backoff_max: 1800
  service_data:
    brightness_pct: 100
  start_time: sunset
  end_time: '21:59:59'
  night_mode:
    delay: 120
    backoff_factor: 1.2
    backoff_max: 1800
    service_data:
      brightness_pct: 20
    start_time: '22:00:00'
    end_time: sunrise
    end_time_action: "off"

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. turn on lights (either manually or automatically through EC)
2. restart HA
3. as HA is coming up, Lights turn off

Expected behavior

This is how the component should work:

1. Expected lights to stay on during reboot.

as a test i did add the on_enter_idle to the config set to ignore and it seems to fix the issue. i am still doing some testing, so will report back when certain. the config now looks like this:

entity_controller_motion_kitchen:
  friendly_name: "Kitchen Motion Controller"
  sensor: 
    - binary_sensor.kitchen_motion_any
  entity: 
    - light.kitchen_lights
  overrides:
    - input_boolean.entity_controller_motion_kitchen_override
  sensor_type: duration
  sensor_resets_timer: True
  delay: 600
  backoff: true
  backoff_factor: 1.2
  backoff_max: 1800
  service_data:
    brightness_pct: 100
  start_time: sunset
  end_time: sunrise
  behaviours:
    on_enter_idle: "ignore"
  night_mode:
    delay: 120
    backoff_factor: 1.2
    backoff_max: 1800
    service_data:
      brightness_pct: 20

After a few days of testing, this seems to fix the issue of lights turning off on reboots. It appears that the on_enter_idle behavior does not honor what the documentations states as it's default setting of ignore. Manually setting it seems to do the trick.
