Strange behaviour of the ' Events: State' nodes

Describe the bug

A few weeks ago I noticed strange behaviour with a few of the Events state nodes in Node-Red. I have a automation that turns on the fan when the lights go. The state nodes detect the switch state of the lights and send the on/off to the fan. But suddenly the ' off' state of the lights is send about every 4 minutes or so and then the fan goes on. when the delay is reached then it goes 'off'. And I see this behaviour on more state nodes. Did something changed recently and/or how can I fix this? I already tried to use a filter node but that does not seem to work. B.t.w. I use NR now for a couple of years so I am not a newbie :-)

Many Thanks!

To Reproduce

I changes nothing in the automations flow.

Expected behavior

Do nothing until the payload changes.

I noticed that, when ' output on connect' is active, this behaviour occurs. Looks like there is a 'connect' every once in a while (4 min.?) that triggers the on/off state. Is something changed on that level few weeks ago?
