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.
You are literally looking at the screen where you are two clicks away from changing a lot of major information about the device. If that’s not it, then use whatever add-on presented the device in the first place.
I can sympathize. It’s quite the learning curve, but it’s worth it in the end.
HA does not “insist”. You can change things in your config as you need.
