I’ve just moved my z-wave installation over from Indigo and to a happily surprising extent, the transition has gone very well.
However, several different PIR sensors from different brands (homeseer, Ecolink, VisionPro) are detected as lights by HA, even if they have, in some cases, configuration options that are related to a PIR. HA assigns them a bulb icon, and the only control shows as a switch with the name “Basic.”
Is this a known bug, and is there any way to get HA to reassign the correct sensor type to these devices short of un-including and re-including them? Is that likely to get them working?
I’m also seeing a ZP3102 PIR sensor by Vision Security that’s showing only as a “basic” sensor.
Any advice? These sensors showed up fine in Indigo.
HA does not “insist”. You can change things in your config as you need.
Wildly unhelpful. And yes, the integration INSISTS that my device is a light. Yes, I can change how they report, but there’s still some dumb ass slider for dimming associated with my PIRs.
Expecting new adopters to be editing YAML (or whatever) in order to make a newly added but years old device to HASS is one hell of a bar to entry.
