Entity could not be found in cache for entity_id:

[gcortes]

I'm getting the error: Entity could not be found in cache for entity_id: several times a day in my debug log. I'm not sure if the error is a problem with this project or Home Assistant. The node causing the error and the error details are shown here:

The entry for the boolean in Home Assistant is shown here:

I have another boolean of the same type that works fine. I'm running version 0.43.1 of this project.

I would guess that the current-state is being triggered before you have connected to Home Assistant.

That might be it. The nodes that are throwing the error are all connected to individual five minute timers. I hadn't seen any errors in about a day when I started working on some flows. I did a deploy a few times without issue. The last deploy I did, which involved changes to a number of nodes, caused the errors to appear. Maybe Node-Red reconnects to home assistant when I deploy is activated.

I can live with the error, but would like to get rid of it. Is there a way, after the timer triggers, to test if home assistant is available?

It happened again, but with only three nodes. I changed the timers to "inject once after 2 seconds, then" instead of 0.1 seconds. No errors when I deployed it.

It's been a couple of days with no errors. Setting the delay on the timers did the trick.
