HI. I use this sketch to my lisght but in Home Assistant it show me it as SWITCH. Is any chance to change it in mysensors sketch to show in Home Assisnatnt as LIGHT ?
I have no idea, sorry...
Personally I use node red for automations, from there you can just address the node and child directly even when it isn't presented or not supported by home assistant.
I was so occupied checking everything related to MySensors that I completely forgot to check the home-assistant part.
I didn't specify the MySensors version in configuration.yaml, which defaults to 1.4 which doesn't support V_LEVEL...
Oh well, problem solved ^^
@martinhjelmare
Thanks martin. I think I got the code handled properly, but i'm getting a compile error.
/**
* The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
* between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
* The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
* repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
* network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.

I'll try it again tomorrow.
Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction on custom units.
Please read carefully documentation for HA. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mysensors/
You need to send initial state of your sensors. There is example code for doing it. Basically you check in loop if the node just started and send some values to HA. After that your sensor will appear in HA.
I have encountered the same situation trying to use a switch to control some blinds.
Has there been any update on this issue from either Home Assistant or MySensors, or any workaround developed?
