Sorry but I don't fully understand the situation. I'll do my best to help but I would need more info to help I think.
First of all what is the card config you use? Is it the default one (just the card name/type)?
By default card shows all of the entities which have the device_class set to battery. You can have a look at the default config: https://github.com/maxwroc/battery-state-card?tab=readme-ov-file#default-card-config
It this is matching some of the unwanted entities you can filter them out via filter-exclude. It can be done by have individual rules for each entity_id you don't want or some other way if unwanted entities have same attributes/properties (to check properies of entities you can use debug: true
setting in your card config).
If the Freezer, Door bell and Snop entities are not a battery ones it is quite weird that they have a device_class: battery
. Are these the ones which are the unwanted? Seeing the output for these entities when the debug:true option is present would be very helpful
see the entries for "Garage Door Man" on the graphic. They are Charging Status, Recharge..., Max Capacity, Temperate. None of those are battery.
The door bell could have a battery but its powered. Freezer is a door contact to make sure its closed. It does have a battery. It is showing up OK now.
Sorry I am really new to HA, 5 days so far. I can manually enter the unwanted entities. Thats not a problem I just thought you'd like to know about it
I used the default config. I dont know where the config file is to add on the debug or try and add in the exclude into the config.
Thank you so much for replying! Sorry Im a slow in understanding everything
PS This door contact sensor is ridiculous. It's sending tons of entities into the wave properties for the device that don't seem to make sense. All I wanted is an open and closed and I get like 20 entries for it. I can send those contact sensors back and get something else I think maybe that would be easier
No worries it looks like you have some weird integrations in your HA which are producing unexpected entities. I'd recommend seeking help on HA forum. It can be either a battery state card related thread or some other one. There will be more people who might be able to help.
I have no experience with any z-wave devices / integrations but having a 20 entries per device seems to be ridiculous
Describe what is wrong its is seeing entities that are not battery related. These are from the ring door contact switches working on Z wave. On the automation I can manually enter these for entities to stop them from being tested, but the display on the dashboard still has them anyway. And I have about a dozen of these door sensors that I would like to enable. Is that the best way for me to handle this? Just manually enter the four entities? See the attached screenshot.
