Template / config loses value

[yanivf38]

The problem

I have 3 template/config numeric values in my yaml. That randomly get reset to their initial value. The reason I say randomly is because if manually reboot my node or ha the value remains but then randomly it gets reset. What is strange to me is that when the values get reset all 3 template/configs get the initial value

[ssieb]

Could you be triggering the factory reset button somehow?

[yanivf38]

Thank you @ssieb for the response. No, as the gates values are not reset.

[yanivf38]

I looked at the history and it looks like the values get reset when the node becomes back online from unavailable. I ran another test by unplugging/plugging the node and it seems to reset the value too, which was different than what I remembered.

[ssieb]

As far as I can tell, the ld2410 values aren't saved on the ESP, so they wouldn't be affected by a factory reset.

[yanivf38]

I have added the below line to the esp8266 section that might have fixed it. Need to wait to wait few days to confirm.

restore_from_flash : True

[ssieb]

Yes, that is necessary. I think without that, it will keep the values over a reboot, but not a power cycle.
