Thank you, that's food for thought at least.

Can I ask about your light script? I have a bunch of smart bulbs that either don't support or don't expose the 'power-on behaviour' option, so in a power cut they come on full bright when power is restored, often in the middle of the night.

My HA is on a UPS so I've been trying to have it store the states of lights when the UPS switches to battery power (before they go to unavailable) and then restore those states when power comes back, but it's apparently way beyond my skill set. Curious as to how your "input list of lights" works and whether it could help me...
