Sensor device type

For the Caseta driver I found that when importing the Caseta integration file if a device name contains Sensor in the name, the type will be set to Sensor rather than type Remote.  If this is the intended behavior, it would be helpful to add that to the Caseta documentation.

I would find it helpful if a similar behavior was applied such that a device name that contains Switch in the name would set the type to switch instead of dimmer.

I thought if it had Sensor in its name that it should be a Sensor. It will be a Remote now.
Any device with a name with Switch in it will be a switch.

Having "sensor" in the name being identified as type sensor is good thing in my opinion. I was only suggesting that adding a line to the documentation noting this would be helpful. If you are making a change such that a name with "switch" in it will be identified as type switch, should also be noted in the documentation.
