Unable to select the right type for Door/Window On/Off Sensor #2095

Closed edmund-1 closed 1 month ago

edmund-1 commented 1 month ago

Hello experts,

Adding Tuya device Door Window Sensor (with battery) is not possible.

Extract from Tuya cloud: "id": "bf13f646271522693cei49", "model": "", "name": "Contact Sensor 2", "product_id": "raacclhbugvi0qzr", "product_name": "WiFi门磁", "uuid": "103f00e869efe486"

Smart life or manual wizard, the device is being seen as a light bulb, vacuum cleaner, or simple contact sensor (image and debug logs attached - ignore local_tuya integration, that will be removed after migrating all sensors to this integration). home-assistant_tuya_local_2024-07-09T11-10-04.930Z.log image

A couple of our ago, the same type of sensor, after few fails and retry attempts, finally was found as "nedis_open_close_sensor" or similar, that was what I was expected (sort of) as the device has battery, and make sense to monitor battery level, isn't it? Don't ask me what I did to finally appear device type "nedis_open_close_sensor" when adding the device.

How can I select device type from the list of available devices if the integration is not presenting the whole list???

Thank you.

Battery powered devices without hubs are out of scope for this integration, as they cannot work reliably without the cloud acting as a hub.
