PIR sensors that HA insists are lights
I’ve just moved my z-wave installation over from Indigo and to a happily surprising extent, the transition has gone very well.
However, several different PIR sensors from different brands (homeseer, Ecolink, VisionPro) are detected as lights by HA, even if they have, in some cases, configuration options that are related to a PIR. HA assigns them a bulb icon, and the only control shows as a switch with the name “Basic.”
Is this a known bug, and is there any way to get HA to reassign the correct sensor type to these devices short of un-including and re-including them? Is that likely to get them working?
I’m also seeing a ZP3102 PIR sensor by Vision Security that’s showing only as a “basic” sensor.
Any advice? These sensors showed up fine in Indigo.
Why is the SLZB Ultima so Cheap? is there a catch?

Trump threatens Canada with 50% tariff on aircraft sold to U.S.
Trump said the U.S. will decertify Bombardier Global Express business jets 'and all aircraft made in Canada' until Canada certifies Gulfstream's series of business jets.Sean Boynton (Global News)
Airbus bought Bombardier so ok, America, you can go pay more to maintain your planes. everyone knows anyone rich won’t pay taxes or tariffs on their purchase of a private jet anyway, but I wonder, if a plane is flown to Canada, repaired/ maintenance work completed, then flown back, the transaction happened in Canada, so… do tariffs even apply?

cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/42408625
The tool lets ICE populate a map with potential deportation targets, bring up dossiers on each person, and view an address “confidence score” based on data sourced from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and other government agencies. This is according to a user guide for ELITE 404 Media obtained.404 Media is now publishing a version of that user guide so people can read it for themselves.
