core: Group states are marked as unknown in 0.116.0b1

The problem

When Home Assistant 0.116.0b1 is loaded, group states are marked as unknown instead of their member values.

For example:

a group with just device_trackers will be marked as home or not_home. Now marked as unknown
a group with just cover entities will be marked as open or closed. Now marked as unknown
a group with just light entities would be marked as on or off. Now marked as unknown

Thanks for the logs. I’m pretty sure I’ve solved it in #41034 as I was able to get the unknown state in the test unexpectedly.

Its a bit more code than I had hoped, but I fixed the group of a group case in the PR

Just to make sure you are aware, this happens with covers and sensors too.

Thanks. It could happen for any integration that loaded after group.
