So I just got Home Assistant up and running and I’m trying to set up a few zwave light switches / dimmers and have a very newbie question. I have clicked around the interface a bit and I’m sure I did something for one light that I have not yet done for the other, but for the life of me I can’t figure out what that was.
I have two identical zwave light switches and when I go to Configuration -> Devices I can see them both. When I look at Configuration -> Entities I see both of them of them listed but then I also see one that I named “Porch”. Back in the Devices tab if I click on one of them I get an info page that has both the original switch plus the “Porch” entity listed in the Entities section. The Porch entity has a light icon + a toggle switch that does work to turn the light on and off. So I have two entities that are related to this one device.
I had to stop playing around with HA for the day and now I can’t figure out how I created the Porch entity in the first place. After clicking around the UI a bit, I just can’t seem to find where you create Entities, only view info about existing ones.
Can someone explain how I created it associated it with the switch Device?
Thx for any help!
