In Domoticz, devices reported via MQTT as type "number" do not appear as new devices. To locate them, you must navigate to the menu: "MQTT auto discovery client gateway with LAN interface" > "Configuration."
Is there any way to make a device reported as type "number" appear in the main devices menu?
I have a Shelly BLU TRV, which reports its valve opening percentage to MQTT (via Zigbee2MQTT) as a "number" type. I would really like to be able to see it as a device and control it directly from within Domoticz.

The issue is your Shelly BLU TRV, it should not report this as a number value but as a normal sensor, please report there

Sorry for the silly question. Am I correct in understanding that this should be reported to Shelly, or is it an issue for Zigbee2MQTT?
Alternatively, is there any way in Domoticz to "copy" the behavior of a `number` type device—found under "MQTT auto discovery client gateway with LAN interface > Configuration"—to a normal sensor?

You can turn the number dice via dzvents script into a sensor device. Simply ask AI for assurance.
