For many weeks now, many of my disabled automations have be turning themselves back on. I just discovered that the automating turn back on when the system is updated.
It’s anyone else having this occur? How do I make it stop turning automations back on?
Thanks.
I’m not seeing this behaviour.
Do these automations have an initial_state set to true?
https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/yaml/#automation-initial-state
They do not have an initial_state value? Are you saying that a value should be set?
No!
Read the document I posted.
All automations restore their previous state except if you set an initial_state then the previous state won’t be restored.
So don’t set an initial state and if you disable an automation it will stay that way until you change it.
If that is not what you are seeing something else is enabling your automations. Maybe another automation you have written?
I see. I did read the documentation but not closely enough. FWIW, it would be helpful to change:
At startup, automations by default restore their last state of when Home Assistant ran. This can be controlled with the initial_state option. Set it to false or true to force initial state to be off or on.
To:
Upon startup of Home Assistant, automations by default are restored to their last enabled/disabled state from the previous system run. Use the initial_state option to override this startup behavior. Set its value to false or true to force initial enabled state to be off or on, respectively.
How do I go about requesting a documentation update?
I’m still seeing this issue. The automations have no value set for initial_state. Interestingly, not all automations get reenabled.
Update: The initial_state value was indeed set for those automations. Not sure what search I was doing, but clearly it was wrong.
Thank you!
So you’ve read the document I posted twice now but still not seen the links at the bottom of the page for improvement suggestions?
Honestly I don’t think it’s the documents that are the problem.
