My Aeotec 4-in-1 Multisensor motion sensing items have been identified by first PaperUI and now HABmin as type “switch” and category “door”. Neither UI has allowed me to change this. The logs show them being triggered ON and OFF;

Do I need to switch to Home Builder and put in the correct type and category, or is this a situation of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? I’m getting ready use them in rules, so am wondering if type and category have special meanings.
