I am using Zwave2Mqtt for my zwave devices and I’m curious if I can customize the device class of the access control entity to turn it into a door:

I’ve tried to set it manually in Customize.yaml:

sensor.front_door:
  device_class: door

It looks like the only options in the UI customizations screen are voltage/power related:

Do I need to use a template sensor for this? I wanted to avoid that if possible to keep things cleaner if possible. Thanks in advance!

There’s no door device class for sensor entities, it only exists for binary_sensor.

You would need to write a binary sensor template and specify a door device class for it. Other option is to migrate to the zwave_js integration which does it automatically. zwavejs2mqtt’s MQTT discovery might also do it.

Thanks, I guess that’s the motivation I needed to move to zwavejs2mqtt.
