Restore mode applied after wifi reconnect

ESPHome
1

I have some devices with restore mode always_on

light:
  - platform: rgbww
    id: light_rgbww
    name: Light
    color_interlock: true
    cold_white_color_temperature: 6500 K
    warm_white_color_temperature: 2700 K
    red: output_red
    green: output_green
    blue: output_blue
    cold_white: output_cold
    warm_white: output_warm
    restore_mode: ALWAYS_ON

but when there is a wifi hick up like my router restarts, sometimes afterwards the light suddenly turns on. I think this shouldn’t be the case.

can I changes this behaviar?

I added reset_reason for debugging, but of course while trying to get any info if the device might accidentally restarts, the issue doesn’t occur.

It’s possible the esp can’t reconnect to WiFi/api and is rebooting itself after the wifi issue (15min by default).

If you add an uptime: sensor that will help confirm.

That would make sense. However, I changed this period to 12hours. And also. The devices are marked unavailable for 1:30 minutes.
I will add uptime later. I think it’s helpful as well.

I could test now, and is seems like the device reboots, with reset reason

2024.8.0|Version: v1.6.0 on generic-bk7231n-qfn32-tuya, compiled at Aug 25 2024 16:38:44, GCC 10.3.1 (-O1)|Reset Reason: WDT Reset|Chip Name: BK7231N|Chip ID: 0x00e4ce3a|Flash: 2048 KiB|RAM: 256 KiB

And now I found that WDT seset means that something didn’t respond in a specific amount of time, but it’s different from the reboot_timeout.

Do you know if and how to change this behaviar?
