Store input select value between restart

[faspina (Frank Spina)]

How do I save the input_select value so that they do not change the default after a restart of HASS?

It is not possible.
You can set a default value

We have a FR for it plus I remember at least one post about doing this with an additional module that someone wrote.

I am planning on writing an AppDaemon app to do this shortly.

Of course you are. LOL

Can you set a inputs value based on MQTT, and then when MQTT starts up ready the RETAINED messages and determine what value it should be at
