Turning lights on with non-smart switches don't update the light #176

Is there some way to make the component work with non-smart switches? On cold starts it doesn't seem to pick up the lights. Maybe the best compromise is to lower the transition / interval to a few seconds? Would that cause any issues or make the experience too bad?

This is currently working for me, with HomeAssistant 2022.9.6 and a set of Hue lights over Zigbee with zigbee2mqtt. When the lights power up, they can take up to 20 seconds (but usually closer to 5) to register with the network and receive updated brightness and temperature. Perhaps some methods of connecting smart bulbs do not trigger power on events when they reconnect. I also have availability tracking turned on in zigbee2mqtt, which may or may not help.
