Remote Transmitter sending signal on boot

ESPHome
,
1

I have flashed a Nedis IR remote sender (ESP8266) with ESPHome and learned some codes for my Krinner Christmastree lights, and that all works quite well. The problem is that everytime I install new code (update or juse a code edit install) the device emits IR signals at boot. Not sure why it does that? The problem is that it turns off my christmastree lights when I work on new IR codes for example … is there a way to disable this behaviour?

For reference here is my code:

  devicename: ir-blaster-livingroom

Are your switches always “off” on boot?

Try another restore_mode: like RESTORE_DEFAULT_OFF

That did the trick. Thanks :+1:
