Experimental home assistant events retrigger when restarting container

[abrasher]

What happened?

When I restart the container, ~~some lights that were previously off prior to the restart suddenly turn on. ~~ event entities are retriggered

This was not happening on version 1.4.1

I also get an error about publishEntityState

What did you expect to happen?

Events not to get retriggered

How to reproduce it (minimal and precise)

docker compose restart zigbee2mqtt
events are triggered again, event though it is several hours since last action

It is not a problem with the lights turning on, but instead the home assistant event ( experimental_event_entities: true) get triggered again after a restart. Also, is the state of the event supposed to be a timestamp or still an action_type?

[abrasher]

I guess this is intended behaviour as the official docs have it ignore if the previous state is unavailable

conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: "{{trigger.from_state.state != 'unavailable'}}"
          - condition: template
            value_template: "{{trigger.to_state.attributes.event_type == 'single'}}"

The actual state is always a timestamp (generated by HA). I agree that having to check for unavailable is somewhat unfortunate, but that's how the HA state engine seems to work (unless we introduce a new idle event_type).
