Hi,

Hope someone can help me out.

I have a pushbutton (binary_sensor) and a door relay (switch) which are operated through mqtt, how can I prevent them from triggering when restarting homeassistant or reloading the automations?

My configuration:

Raspberry Pi with homeassistant v0.106.6

configuration.yaml

binary_sensor:
  - platform: rpi_gpio
    ports:
      4: Frontdoor Pushbutton
      27: Backdoor Pushbutton

switch:
  - platform: rpi_gpio
    ports:
      5: Frontdoor Lock
      6: Backdoor Lock
    invert_logic: true

lock:
  - platform: template
    name: Frontdoor
    value_template: "{{ is_state('switch.frontdoor_lock', 'off') }}"
    unlock:
      service: script.turn_on
      entity_id: script.unlock_frontdoor
    lock:
      service: switch.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.frontdoor_lock
  - platform: template
    name: Backdoor
    value_template: "{{ is_state('switch.backdoor_lock', 'off') }}"
    unlock:
      service: script.turn_on
      entity_id: script.unlock_backdoor
    lock:
      service: switch.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.backdoor_lock

mqtt_statestream:
  base_topic: home-domotica
  publish_attributes: true
  publish_timestamps: true
  include:
    entities:
      - binary_sensor.backdoor_pushbutton
      - binary_sensor.frontdoor_pushbutton
      - lock.frontdoor
      - lock.backdoor

scripts.yaml

unlock_frontdoor:
  alias: Frontdoor Unlock
  sequence:
  - service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.frontdoor_lock
  - delay: 00:00:04
  - service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.frontdoor_lock
unlock_backdoor:
  alias: Backdoor Unlock
  sequence:
  - service: switch.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.backdoor_lock
  - delay: 00:00:04
  - service: switch.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.backdoor_lock

automations.yaml

- id: '154895186df23'
  alias: Frontdoor Lock
  trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: home-domotica/lock/frontdoor/set
  condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: script.unlock_frontdoor
    state: 'off'
  action:
  - service_template: lock.{{trigger.payload}}
    entity_id: lock.frontdoor
- id: '154895142df79'
  alias: Backdoor Lock
  trigger:
  - platform: mqtt
    topic: home-domotica/lock/backdoor/set
  condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: script.unlock_backdoor
    state: 'off'
  action:
  - service_template: lock.{{trigger.payload}}
    entity_id: lock.backdoor

Ubuntu VM with homeassistant v0.106.6 in venv.

configuration.yaml:

lock:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Frontdoor"
    state_topic: "home-domotica/lock/frontdoor/state"
    command_topic: "home-domotica/lock/frontdoor/set"
    payload_unlock: "unlock"
    payload_lock: "lock"
    state_locked: "locked"
    state_unlocked: "unlocked"
#   qos: 1
#   retain: true
#   optimistic: false
    value_template: '{{ value }}'
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Backdoor"
    state_topic: "home-domotica/lock/backdoor/state"
    command_topic: "home-domotica/lock/backdoor/set"
    payload_unlock: "unlock"
    payload_lock: "lock"
    state_locked: "locked"
    state_unlocked: "unlocked"
#   qos: 1
#   retain: true
#   optimistic: false
    value_template: '{{ value }}'

Tried with retain: false and/or optimistic: true but as soon as the raspberry pi is booting or homeassistant is restarting or I reload the automations or I turn off and on the lock automation both frontdoor and backdoor locks are cycling, as in opening and closing. How can I prevent this?

Any help will be appreciated!

Regards,
Donald.
