After restarts, automations stop working

Configuration
1

After any recent restarts of my Yellow, the automations for my August lock and Unifi Doorbell break.
I think it’s because the device-id’s change? Is there a better way to define the devices?

Yep, simply don’t use devices for Automations.

I’ll give this a try. Thank you.
