Esp8266 Restore from Flash

ESPHome
#1

I am having a problem with a relatively basic ESPHome program for my garage door.
I have a RGB LED to indicate if the door is open/closed based on a reed sensor.
My problem is that after a power interruption, the LED is totally off until I cycle the door to open/closed.
I am trying to use the Restore from flash command, but still not working.
Very grateful for any help.

Try an on_boot automation to turn the correct led on.

Thank you.
Do you know how the on_boot command will know which LED is correct after the power interruption?

#4

them inside the on_boot you just need to set the state of that binary_sensor

#5

By looking at the pin that is telling you the state of the door. But you really should set up a garage door as a cover.

I have tried using a cover now and I am trying to use a lambda to change output state based on binary sensor.
I now get a message during compile “Component not found: lambda.”
