I’m pretty new to HA. I’ve set it up and I keep editing the confirmation and everytime I restart to apply the changes, all the switches, sensors and even the thermostat lose their values. The most annoying is the thermostat (classic thermostat entity) because I have to turn it on selecting heat/cool and set the temperature. Is there a way to keep all these values across restarts?

Edit: I’m using HA OS on Proxmox. All the sensors and switches slowly goes back to “normal” as soon as they publish their state, apart from some entities that have values provided by HA itself and not by the devices (like the thermostat).

    I’ve edited the post with some other information. About your configuration, how does HA ask for the state? This mean that your HA loses all the values too, but it repopulates them automatically. What about the entities that provides values FROM HA itself? For example the setpoint of the thermostat?

      During restart all entities are in state unavailable. When the integrations are loaded all the entities with their current states become available again, but that’s something of seconds. The internal entities, like Helpers, are immediately available - that’s the closest to “value from HA itself” I have in my setup

        This is my problem:in my main HA instancd the internal entities are in state “unknown” when I reload the configuration. In another instance of HA everything works fine and the thermostat goes back to their previous state when I reload the configuration, in the “main” instance they don’t :(
