Aeotec door sensor 6 issues

Placeholder indicates the device is using an Edge driver. If it was an existing device, it was probably migrated from the Groovy device handler to the Edge driver. Any new Devices added would automatically go to the Edge drivers (if ST has released EDGE drivers for them and you do not have any custom device handlers installed) when you unpair and pair back to the hub. Devices in IDE that show Placeholder in the Type switches can no longer be changed to groovy device handlers. It will break things for tHe device.

Unpair tHe device, add it back. Then reboot your hub in IDE and see if your issue gets resolved. If other device get migrated to an Edge driver and stop functioning, reboot the hub as your first step.

IDE will eventually be phased out.

FAQ: Why does the IDE list “placeholder” for my device? Can I change that?

non-technical answer: the IDE is part of the old groovy based architecture. It will be going away and be replaced with something else. in the meantime, anything which is using the new architecture will be represented in the IDE with “placeholder“ under the device type column. This includes devices using an Edge Driver. Since new edge drivers are being added overtime, it may even be that a device which is the same model number as a device you previously added which used a groovy DTH is now using an Edge driver and so shows up as placeholder. Don’t change it! Once the device is using an integration from the new architecture, you can no longer get to its code details through the IDE, And changing it to a different device type may break the integration altogether.
