Sonoff TRVZB attributes are not marked with device_category as configuration entities about zigbee-herdsman-converters

[Koenkk]

This should do it:

numeric({
                entityCategory: 'config', // <-- add this line
                name: 'valve_opening_degree',
                cluster: 'customSonoffTrvzb',
                attribute: 'valveOpeningDegree',
                description: 'Valve open position (percentage) control. ' +
                    'If the opening degree is set to 100%, the valve is fully open when it is opened. ' +
                    'If the opening degree is set to 0%, the valve is fully closed when it is opened, ' +
                    'and the default value is 100%. ' +
                    'Note: only version v1.1.4 or higher is supported.',
                valueMin: 0.0,
                valueMax: 100.0,
                valueStep: 1.0,
                unit: '%',
            }),

I'm happy to create a PR but:

1. I don't see this new line in any of the entities that do appear as config items (so that's unclear)
2. I don't have the set up to properly test this
   -- the docs for adding a new device seem fairly involved but adding to an existing seems tricky
   -- I don't have a debug/test instance only my prod instance

Is there a way I can create the PR and then test later the development stream, or someone else test it (shocking I know) or someone else take this on.

1. Because some are mapped here instead (deprecated)
2. Just submit the PR, this should work.

I can see the new config payload in HA (devices -> mqtt info) but it doesn't seem to be reloading. I've tried restarting z2m (which already did due to addon upload) and restarting mosquitto. also reconfigure one of the TRV's in z2m which did indicate it had done so.

Usually a new payload gets read by HA and the device refreshes?

[Koenkk]

I think HA doesn't update, try to force remove the device and re-pair it, this will re-init the entity at the HA side.
