events: state Home Assistant State Boolean always false

[Noneangel]

Describe the bug

input_boolean.* don't work with "entity state as Home Assistant boolean": it is always mapped to false. (not tested for other entity domain)

To Reproduce

1. create a node events: state using a configuration generated before < 0.80. using an input_boolean entity id (input_boolean.heating in this example).
2. map payload to "entity state as Home Assistant boolean"
3. change the value of input_boolean.heating using the home assistant ui (turn it on).
4. the reported value of the node is false.

Expected behavior

"on" state should be mapped to true with "entity state as Home Assistant boolean"

Screenshots

config (old configuration, after adding "state boolean"):

debug value should be true

Additional context

I use an old "home assistant" configuration in Node red (it has been here for multiple version).

If I use a newly "home assistant configuration", it is correctly mapped to true.

Side note: in the old config, I had to add all the default value to "State boolean" (it was empty).
