Support entity categorization

Yeah, looks reasonably straightforward. Give me a few days.

[bigbadblunt]

Just pushed a new release. Let me know if it works for you.

[gary-sargent]

Works great thanks.

Not sure if plug socket plugged in detection should be a sensor (as is) or diagnostic to be more consistent with others. It's currently appearing on the default lovelace dashboard which I doubt is much use.

[bigbadblunt]

Ooops, I missed the plug sensor. I suspect I've also broken some of the other sensors (things like energy monitors). Let me have another go.

[bigbadblunt]

Thanks. I have changed the plug sensor to "diagnostic" (btw, can you confirm the sensors actually works? I don't have any gen 2 sockets).

I also reverted the classification of energy sensors from "diagnostic" to none. I think this is how they should appear. But I also have no energy monitors, so no way of testing that either.

Hi,

Looks good, and yes the sensor works.

The only one that looks wrong is the sensor for current which is showing values like 24 amps which can not be right for a 13amp socket!

[bigbadblunt]

OK - if you could compare the output from HA to what's in the app then maybe it'll be obvious what the problem is. I suspect the values are to 1 decimal place (i.e. should be 2.4 amps). If you can confirm, then I can update.

[gary-sargent]

Current is not listed in the app, but experimenting it looks like the value you are showing is mA not A, so needs dividing by 1000 to show the right value in A, or units changing to mA. That said, I'm not sure it is that useful to have it at all as Amps can be derived from Power (watts) and Voltage using A=P/V

[bigbadblunt]

Updated to be in mA.

[gary-sargent]

Works great. Thanks, feel free to close this ticket.

Thanks @gary-sargent, and thanks for the feedback/testing. I only have a couple of bits of lightwave kit so it's a bit hit-and-miss developing for things I don't have, it's really useful to get good, clear feedback and results.

Let me know if you have any future suggestions.
