Fans not retaining state after 2022.4.0 upgrade

[Gio76]

Home Assistant version 2022.4.2

SmartIR version 1.17.6

SmartIR configuration

- platform: smartir

  unique_id: living_room_fan
  device_code: 1020

  power_sensor: binary_sensor.living_room_fan_power

Describe the bug

Since updating to HA 2022.4.0 and SmartIR 1.17.6 none of my fans are retaining their state after a HA restart. On the previous versions the fans state will always be retained after a restart or even reboot of my server.

Do you managed to get it fix? I got the same problem? Thanks

[Gio76]

No fix unfortunately. I never got a reply for this case and didn't manage to find a workaround

Hello. anyone found a fix yet? Tried power_sensor but that didnt solve it.

Just thinking could write each fan out to an input number on shut down and read each input number on start up... Ugly solution though really...

do you nonticed also issue with power_sensor? In my case the status is even no longer updated if I turn on the fan manually.
