Whenever I restart Node-Red or Redeploy, I get a series of errors that all say "could not find state with entity\_id".
This occurs for a number of nodes from Home Assistant.

Hi @michaelparsche,
I have the same issue.
Unfortunately, I didn't find a solution for now...

Might be worth asking on a HA forum, if there is one.
