events: state; expose to Home Assistant initial value always true. #31

Describe the bug

I'm using a state node (switch), and expose this to Home Assistant in order to create an identity in HA. This works well. However, whenever I deploy an update in Node red, the entity state is always set to true, regardless of it's previous state. The same behaviour can be seen when restarting the home assistant container.

What should happen?

When deploying a flow or when or restarting HA, the entity state should not be changed, it should remain as it was previously set.

I assume this is not used to create the entity in HA as such, only to enable/diasble a flow. I will use the entity node instead.
