Configuring zwave2mqtt devices

I have some zwave2mqtt devices, only sensors and a switch so far. How do I configure them? They all show up in the list as, e.g. “Unknown: type=0001, id=005a (Unknown: id=0086)”. When I open the Configuration section of the ZWave to MQTT UI, it’s empty.
Have I missed some configuration to make zwave2mqtt identify the devices?

Sometimes you have to set the config_path

Example:

zwave:
  config_path: /srv/homeassistant/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/python_openzwave/ozw_config

That specific example is for the HA native zwave configuration, not zwave2mqtt. However, the same concept applies to zwave2mqtt (see Configuration Path). If the devices are unknown to OZW 1.4 (currently used by zwave2mqtt), you’ll have to create your own, either in the default install path or a custom one.

You can check the manufacturer_specific.xml file to see if the device is missing.
