I am using the alarmsystem lupusec integration (activated in yaml).
This integration also provides the window contact sensors.
I defined these like:
binary_sensor.terrassentur_rechts:
device_class: door
unique_id: binary_sensor_terrassentur_rechts
area: wohnzimmer
Even though I defined a unique_id and an area, both are not accepted, which means I still get, that the entity does not have a unique_id and therefore I cannot modify the area.
So:
How to set a unique_id for UI configuration (if that’s even possible)?
How to assign an area to such entities without unique_id
Any help for a rookie would be greatly appreciated.
i have exactly the same issue. No docs to define an area of an entity. Is here someone who could tell us IF it is possible even to manually customize an entity with an AREA ?
I ask this because I use Dwain’s Dashboard which is based on areas.
Thank you - I have seen that.
So, basically I cannot set a unique_id by customizing the sensor.
Consequently, there is no option to assign an area to these entities (without a unique_id).
