I’ve just switched from Domoticz to Hassio and so far I’m not disappointed. However, like many of you I’m slightly confused by devices vs. entities. But my problem is quite specific.
I have z-wave as well as rfxtrx for the “cheaper” switches. In my config I have the following items for the rfxtrx component:
This works fine, I can switch the entity light.schemerlamp_device using a GUI element.
The main problem I have now is that I cannot use this light in a scene or as an automation because the light.schemerlamp_device does not appear as a device. In my devices list I only see all z-wave devices not the rfxtrx entities…
So:
How can I turn rfxtrx entities into devices?
or
How can I use entities directly in scenes or automation without the need for devices?
