Template support in state-based layer

[confusinguser]

I want to have a base layer which is always on. This is so my room does not go into pitch black darkness when I restart HA, as that is uncomfortable and scary.

I tried doing this:

But obviously that didn't work, as templates are not supported. The main issue is when the integration is reloaded, because the layers are reevaluated then. I can see three solutions that would solve this conundrum:

• Evaluate any condition on startup, regardless of whether it's supported or not
• Add a toggle to define a layer as always-on
• Keep the layer state from when the integration was shut down, if that layer does not have any conditions or triggers.

Ill add support for templates. Seems simple enough to do. I should also do your first point.
