Setting to blank sets to 'unknown' #89

Closed rwarner closed 1 year ago

Thanks for forking and continuing to work on this from rogro82's

Since moving over to this forked repo, I noticed that when I variable.update_sensor to nothing at all (i.e. "") It seems to set the state to unknown

- service: variable.update_sensor
      data:
        value: ""
      target:
        entity_id: sensor.value

Not sure if this is intentional. I tweaked some of my logic in my automations to accommodate but thought I'd report.

I did do it intentionally and set "" to None (which shows as Unknown in the HA UI). If there is consensus that it should remain as "", I don't feel that strongly. It was just the way I had built it when trying to catch edge cases and ensure the value is cleared out when needed.

No worries then if it was done intentionally. Thought I'd reach out just in case.
