How do I config a sensor to show as an diagnostic in home assistant?
{
"entity_category": "diagnostic",
"expire_after": "180",
"name": "IP",
"state_topic": "homeassistant/sensor/lavan/ip/state",
"unique_id": "s6l",
"device": {
"identifiers": [
"1la"
],
"name": "Lavanderia"
}
}
I tried entity_category but it still shows the entity as a sensor:
Code to auto config (arduino):
ConexaoMQTT.publish("homeassistant/sensor/lavan/ip/config","{\"entity_category\": \"diagnostic\",\"expire_after\": \"180\",\"name\": \"IP\",\"state_topic\": \"homeassistant/sensor/lavan/ip/state\",\"unique_id\": \"s6l\",\"device\": {\"identifiers\": [\"1la\"],\"name\": \"Lavanderia\"}}", true);
I was expecting the IP to be shown like this (sorry for 2 posts in a row, I’m a new user):

If I look at an existing diagnostic sensor, it is “entity_category”:“diagnostic”
{
"availability":[
{
"topic":"zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state"
}
],
"device":{
"identifiers":[
"zigbee2mqtt_0x000d6ffffefd3b79"
],
"manufacturer":"IKEA",
"model":"TRADFRI control outlet (E1603/E1702/E1708)",
"name":"ikeaoutlet1",
"sw_version":"2.3.089"
},
"enabled_by_default":false,
"entity_category":"diagnostic",
"icon":"mdi:clock",
"json_attributes_topic":"zigbee2mqtt/ikeaoutlet1",
"name":"Last seen",
"object_id":"ikeaoutlet1_last_seen",
"origin":{
"name":"Zigbee2MQTT",
"sw":"1.33.0",
"url":"https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io"
},
"state_topic":"zigbee2mqtt/ikeaoutlet1",
"unique_id":"0x000d6ffffefd3b79_last_seen_zigbee2mqtt",
"value_template":"{{ value_json.last_seen }}"
}
Thanks I deleted the retained config message and reset the device, now it works as I wanted it to.@francisp for the configuration values how do I add the slide/button?
