Lights not turning on when presence is detected

[twindebank]

Describe the bug

I expect lights within the area to turn on when presence is detected, they do not. However, if I turn the lights on manually then leave the area, then they turn off when the area state is clear.

To Reproduce (config/screenshots in dropdowns)

Set up a magic area with default configuration + a light group.

    "light_groups": {
      "overhead_lights": [],
      "overhead_lights_states": [

  ],
  "on_states": [
    "on",
    "open"
  ],
  "include_entities": [],
  "name": "Hallway",
  "id": "hallway"
}

Three entities are created

Turn on the `Area Light Control (Hallway)` entity.

Walk into the area -> presence is detected.

Lights do not turn on.

I've tried various combinations of restarting and reinstalling magic areas to no avail. I've also tried other areas with the same results.

Seems like you didn't added any lights to any of the groups.

    "light_groups": {
      "overhead_lights": [],
       ....
      "sleep_lights": [],
       ....
      "accent_lights": [],
       ....
      "task_lights": [],
    }

Try adding some lights into the "Overhead lights" through the config UI.
