Automations stopped working since 0.85

Hi all,

Since 0.85 all my automations stopped working.

No backup since 09.01.19
Backend theme is not changed on HA start
No xiaomi button is working anymore
Automations where triggered on 09.01.19 last time:

15_00h36m08s_003_787×137 14.9 KB
etc.

When I trigger the automations manually, they work.
I also checked my config and it’s valid.

I’m not sure how I can track down the issue here.

Does anybody has an idea?

They are turned off. Turn them back on.

You are a lifesaver! Thank you!

Are you updating to 0.85 from 0.84 or an older version?

In 0.84 there was a breaking change to how an automation’s state is restored after a restart. Perhaps it is the same thing that is responsible for what you are experiencing.

According to this post, there are two possible solutions (choose one or both):

Use the Services menu (http://YourHAserver:8123/dev-service) to turn on all automations.
Add initial_state: True to all of your automations then restart Home Assistant.

I updated from the 0.85 beta version. But during the beta everything worked fine, just after the update to the stable release, the automations stopped working.
I just re-enabled them and now everything works fine again, even after a restart.
