Description
Some optional entity selectors are automatically populated with default values and saved even when the user never selected them.
Example from my config:
pump_switch: switch.whirlpool
The documentation says the pump switch is optional and if omitted the integration should use the main switch.
However, switch.whirlpool was stored automatically although no such entity exists in my installation.
Expected
Optional entity fields should remain empty unless the user explicitly selects an entity.
Actual
Default entity IDs are prefilled and persisted, which can lead to incorrect status reporting and bypass intended fallback behavior.
