I've installed the latest version of the plugin (1.1.1) via HACS. It created the 2 helpers and loaded all my dashboards automatically. Then I selected the default with the dropdown helper and everything works as expected.

However when I restart HA, the value of the dropdown is reset to lovelace. I tested creating a another dropdown and that kept its selection after restart, just not the one created by this plugin. The boolean toggle also behaves the same, ie, if I turn it off, then restart HA, it will be come on again.

I have checked the core.restore_state file and it does store the selected value after you change it, but somehow it will be reset after HA restart.

A unreleated question if you can answer. How can I re-refresh the list of panels if I add/remove some?
