The use of the virtual sensors.

When I want to use a virtual sensor I can choose from the list.
So for configuration of my DHT22 I choose the Temperature and Humidity sensors.
The Temperature sensor worked without any problem but the Humidity was a problem.
I found by coincidence that the Humidity sensor was expecting a number and the Temperature sensor a string input.
My question is how to find out what a certain sensor is expecting.
So far I was not able to find any documentation about this.
Who can help me out?

For most sensors you can find this information this wiki page .

Please feel free to report if the one you are looking for is not yet documented and it will be added.
