Automation Bug - AND,XOR,OR,NOT (Pirmarily AND)

When using automation paired with battery management (OR,XOR,AND), whenever AND gate is toggled by a wattage sensor paired with a NOT gate and a motion sensor, it seems to toggle other AND gates on the map for a split second, I would show you but I can't really without showing a video, it seems to happen at random times and affects systems that are completely isolated from each other.

 

for clarity I marked out the isolated parts of my automation system in red below in the screenshot (apologies for the messy base design, I am testing and exploring!)

-also I have attached Gate buffers to the parts of my system that uses wattage sensors to get around this issue as it causes nasty infinite looping on some of these isolated systems.(still occurs but less)

Steps to Reproduce
  1. have three or more complex automation systems related to power generation and batteries
  2. make sure each system is isolated from one another
  3. have a wattage sensor + a NOT gate toggle an AND gate
  4. observe all the other AND gates in your isolated automation systems get toggled briefly before resetting (some of them-if you built it similar to mine-even looping!)

I'd recommend watching what happens to the power network every time a power shutoff is toggled. You'll see that all power grids are "rescanned", so to speak. This has an immediate effect on what other wattage sensors are reporting and will have an effect on your automation.

I deal with this by placing either a filter or a buffer gate right after the wattage sensors to avoid the consequences of this behavior. (The type of gate chosen depends on how you set up the sensor.)
