The ESPHome docs Sensor Component — ESPHome say:
- device_class (Optional, string): The device class for the sensor. See Sensor - Home Assistant for a list of available options. Set to
""to remove the default device class of a sensor.
This makes it sound like the ESPHome device_class list is unified with HA’s. Navigating to that URL: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/sensor/#device-class it shows several valid device_class values that don’t actually work in ESPHome.
| device_class | Home Assistant | Supported in ESPHome |
|---|---|---|
| None | TRUE | TRUE |
| aqi | TRUE | FALSE |
| battery | TRUE | TRUE |
| carbon_dioxide | TRUE | TRUE |
| carbon_monoxide | TRUE | TRUE |
| current | TRUE | TRUE |
| energy | TRUE | TRUE |
| gas | TRUE | TRUE |
| humidity | TRUE | TRUE |
| illuminance | TRUE | TRUE |
| monetary | TRUE | TRUE |
| nitrogen_dioxide | TRUE | FALSE |
| nitrogen_monoxide | TRUE | FALSE |
| nitrous_oxide | TRUE | FALSE |
| ozone | TRUE | FALSE |
| pm1 | TRUE | FALSE |
| pm10 | TRUE | FALSE |
| pm25 | TRUE | FALSE |
| power_factor | TRUE | TRUE |
| power | TRUE | TRUE |
| pressure | TRUE | TRUE |
| signal_strength | TRUE | TRUE |
| sulphur_dioxide | TRUE | FALSE |
| temperature | TRUE | TRUE |
| timestamp | TRUE | FALSE |
| volatile_organic_compounds | TRUE | FALSE |
| voltage | TRUE | TRUE |
I discovered this when I tried to use aqi and pm25 values in the ESPHome editor:
Or try to run a validation on the yaml with one of those
device_classes defined.
This shouldn’t be the case, right?
