Ikea lights set brightness 0% when turned off, makes them remember that as last state when turned on again

Lately, I think since HA 105, many of my Ikea lights dont use the last brightness setting when turned on (either by the motion sensor/switch or Ha interface) in the morning. They now turn on with brightness 0%… which is really annoying when you expect your bathroom to be safely lit ;-((

I am completely puzzled, since I havent changed anything in my Ha settings, and don’t believe the Ikea hub/software has changed settings on this functionality.

Could it be HA changed something when turning off lights? Could it be somehow now HA sets brightness to 0% when turning off, making the last recorded brightness 0% when turning on again?

for full disclosure, this is my script I use when set to sleep mode:

slapen_lighting:
  alias: Slapen lighting
  sequence:
    service: light.turn_off
    data_template:
      entity_id: >
        {% if states('group.h') == 'not_home' %} group.all_inside_lights
        {% else %} group.all_main_inside_lights, group.plafond_spots_woonkamer
        {% endif %}
      transition: 6

would it make a difference if I used this scene instead:

- name: Slapen
  entities:
    group.all_inside_lights: off

Sorry for the long topic title, but I would hope this to catch best what is happening. If anyone has a useful tip, Id appreciate it. Thanks!

edit

just thinking, could it be that the transition to ‘off’ makes the lights record the last brightness to be 0%? I used to have the transition in the scenes, but since that functionality unfortunately was taken from us, had to rewrite all my scene into scripts with transition.
