Did you detect this behavior with or without the early_pin_init setting?

  • early_pin_init (Optional, boolean): Specifies whether pins should be initialized as early as possible to known values. Recommended value is false where switches are involved, as these will toggle when updating the firmware or when restarting the device. Defaults to true.

Did you dig in deeper here already? Logs, bug report etc.?

I had this config in the past for a “always on” switch with “reset” function. It’s not possible to turn the switch off (not exposed) but only to “reset” it (turns off the relay, waits 20 seconds, turns the relay on again).

Never had problems that the device had the load off at some point (early_pin_init is default on)
