Description

The recently introduced external remote-entities are not restored from a backup archive. They might also affect restoring other IR-remote entities.

External remote-entities are all non IR-remote entities provided from an integration, for example from Home Assistant.

How to Reproduce

1. Configure at least one remote-entity from Home Assistant
2. Create Backup
3. Restore Backup (clean restore mode)
4. Remote entities from HA are missing

Expected behavior

Remote-entities provided by an external integration are restored.
Restore process is best effort: if a remote-entity cannot be restored due to invalid/unsupported backup data, the restore process must continue with the remaining remote-entities.

System version

1.7.12

What part of the system affected by the problem?

This is fully fixed in the upcoming BT feature (where BT-remote entities are introduced).
An intermediate fix might be released earlier, so that this has no affect on the IR-entities.

Fixed in beta 1.7.13 and I'll close this issue once a public release is out.
