state.persist

[stefanuytterhoeven]

I'm using a trigger closure.
something like

def make_waskot_auto_light(config):
#config['light_id'] contains 'light.waskot_lamp'
persist_light=f"{config['light_id'].replace('light.','pyscript.')}_lock"
state.persist(persist_light,default_value='off')
@state_trigger(....
some code...

@time_trigger('startup')
def waskot_auto_light_startup():
log.info("*** Start ")
for config in pyscript.app_config:
make_waskot_auto_light(config)
log.info(" End ***")

This way, I'm sure the state.persist is executed. I can't put the state.persist in the beginning of the source, as I don't know the variable at that moment.
And, it works...

question:
I want to you that persisted variable in other scripts. Do I need to use "state.persist" again in that source?
if not, and the ohter script is executed at startup, before this script, there's a possible the persisted variable is gone?

Is it fine to state.persist that same variable again in another script?

thx
