I have an Inovelli White Series Matter+Thread light switch. It has a custom button called Config that you can use for automations. Config is listed under Events in Device Info. I've noticed some unexpected behavior whenever I run sudo docker compose restart.
Here's what happens after compose restart exits.
- Home Assistant WebUI comes up
- Inovelli switch entities become unavailable
- 5 minutes passes in the unavailable state
- Inovelli switch comes back to life, setting all of its entity's values back to what they were before
- Config event fires
The Config event firing on reboot is really bad because it triggers an automation I have that listens for the Config event to fire...
How should I be coding the automation to ignore Config events from reboots? I found some Event docs and also a forum post, but they didn't turn out too helpful.
Here's the automation I came up with based on the links above. Unfortunately, this still triggers the automation on reboot.

God I hate those stupid magic links. They're WAAAAYYY slower than just using my password manager.
AND they kinda contribute to locking you into Big Tech. I sometimes have problems with those stupid links because I don't have a Gmail account. Somewhere along the stupid chain there's probably some stupid check that delays or blackholes emails to non-big-tech domains.
