Order of initialization?

Hi

I am trying to use a “local” binary sensor for controlling whether a device should go to deep sleep or not (together with some other logic)…

The sensor is defined like:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: status
    id: bleStatus
    internal: on
    name: BleScanCompleted

And during startup, I do:

esphome:
  name: faucet-bathroom
  platform: ESP32
  board: nodemcu-32s
  on_boot:
    then:
      - lambda: |-
          id(bleStatus).publish_state(false);
          ESP_LOGI("boot", "    - Setting bleStatus to false");
      - script.execute: consider_deep_sleep

Now, in the script, I have:

script:
  - id: consider_deep_sleep
    mode: queued
    then:
      - delay: 5s
      - lambda: |-
          if (id(bleStatus).state) {
            ESP_LOGI("script", "    - bleStatus is TRUE");  
          } else {
            ESP_LOGI("script", "    - bleStatus is FALSE");  
          }

But here the logging tells me, that the bleStatus is set to TRUE - even though I specify it top be set to false during boot?

Is the binary sensor initialized with some sort of value after the on_boot code has been run ?

Did you ever figure this out? I am trying to understand order of execution as well.

You can set when an automation executes at boot by setting it’s priority. Explained here:
