It has always been like that. My Frient smoke detectors can’t be selected as temperature sensors in Home Insights, but my IKEA VINDSTYRKA air quality sensor can.

I forgot the exact reasoning behind that, but I think that some device types or devices with certain capabilities are blacklisted.

Model and Mfg. Code (Fingerprints) show under information for ZigBee, Z-Wave, WiFi, virtual, and Thread.

Thread devices also show serial number.

Not for an experienced user, but an easy place to send a new user to find their fingerprints.

I meant virtual devices. On other devices the information is useful.

@nayelyz @Itati

So this app update fixed a number of things, but I still can’t add, open or edit Smart lights rules.

Are there any plans to address this?

The controller is kind of a plugin inside of the app responsible for the presentation.

Hi, @Paul_Oliver

@z4ib55 already reported that issue remains and I pinged the team about it. I’ll keep insisting.

Based on an API find from a while back, it’s more of a whitelist than a blacklist. The selection is based on the component, capability, attribute and category. I’ve extracted the observed events for indoor temperature from the presentation file below. I am sure there will be combinations that they haven’t yet allowed for.

```json

It looks the same except for a ‘matter’ section replacing the ‘zigbee’ section.

```json
    "matter": {
        "matterMetric": {
            "general": {
                "bootStatus": []
            },
            "wifiNetwork": {
                "linkInfo": [],
                "linkQuality": []
            },
            "threadNetwork": {
                "linkQuality": []
            }
        }
    }

```

I haven’t redacted anything. That’s it. Matter over Wi-Fi have nothing at all.
