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.
I get that, but being new to HASS (but not to home automation) I can't help but be surprised that z-wave devices are so oddly partially supported. Sure, most people go with zigbee because of cost. I can't help but think that if every single zigbee motion sensor showed up in HASS as a light, there's be a big stink about it.
