Binary_Sensors -> Device_Class -> door & window

Configuration
1

Hello,

As a noob to Homeassistant, I’m trying to assign a device_class to a binary_sensor as follows:

platform: mqtt
state_topic: “home/sensors/window”
name: Window
payload_on: “Open”
payload_off: “Closed”
device_class: window

However, I continue to get a configuration error for binary sensor. I believe ‘window’ is a valid device class but the following error shows up in the log.

2018-01-22 14:33:52 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [binary_sensor.mqtt]:
value is not allowed for dictionary value @ data[‘device_class’].
Got ‘window’. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at MQTT binary sensor - Home Assistant

Am I missing something? (I’ve tried several options from the Binary Sensor page, most I tried work with the exception of door and window.

Thanks,
Pete

Those items were only added to the docs a couple of weeks ago, are you using the latest version of homeassistant?

Looks like I was using 60.1. Updated my docker container to the latest and am now on 0.61.1. The configuration error is gone now, but the sensor graphic is stock now.

just upgraded to 0.69.1 and am getting this now as well.

Invalid config for [sensor.mqtt]: value is not allowed for dictionary value @ data[‘device_class’]. Got ‘motion’. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.mqtt/

I’m fixed
I seemed to have

device_class: motion

set, which i #ed out and now it seems to work, not sure where i got this from as it’s not on BRUH sensor github code, which i used.
