WiFI LED Indicator does not restore state

ESPHome
1

I have a wifi LED status indicator,

When connected, the LED displays GREEN at 100% which is correct.
On disconnect, the LED flashed red at 100% brightness, which again, is correct.

However, when the ESP reconnects to the network, the LED does not return to the GREEN state but rather continues to flash RED in the error state.

Any idea why this could be hapenning?

Thanks

What happens if you add effect: none to the on_connect: block?

  on_connect:
    - light.turn_on:
        id: led
        brightness: 100%
        red: 0%
        green: 100%
        blue: 0% 
        effect: none
