Aeotec Recessed Door Sensor Gen5 Config

Configuration
1

I found a couple of thread about setting 121 to Sensor Binary Report and I’m able to get HA to see when I move the magnet away from the sensor. However it just toggles on/off. How can I get if to display open/closed instead of on/off like a couple of my other door sensors? I have these on all of my interior doors and a different brand on my exterior doors that have imported just fine.Annotation 2020-05-07 215942

Customize the entity and give it a device class door.

I have this in my configuration.yaml to get the correct device class for this sensor. My device entity id ends in _door_sensor

Once you add it you have to restart Home Assistant

homeassistant:
  customize_glob:
    binary_sensor.*_door_sensor:
      device_class: door

Thanks fellas, that did the trick. Still learning. I thought that is what I had to do, but I just didn’t know what to search for!
