Entity not correct type

I have devices that are not the correct type. I am trying a Blueprint, with a dropdown for “Motion Sensors”. Two sensors show up, but the other two don’t. All four of these have the same binary_sensor. domain with them. Anyone know how to change these devices? I searched the forums, but perhaps I am not using the right terminology.

Thank you all !!!

I suspect that the problem will be that the blueprint is too restrictive and requires the binary_sensor to be of ‘motion’ class. But that your two binary_sensors that aren’t showing up aren’t categorised as such.

If this is the case you can either edit the blueprint to remove the restriction, or add the device_class via customize.

Thank you, very much. That led me to the right place.

Configuration > Customizations

Choose device, then “Pick an Attribute to override”, then choose the “device class” from dropdown.
