How to get my HA Select node to show in HomeAssistant

[DozoG]

Hi All,

I have added several buttons to HomeAssistant through the HomeAssistant entity (nodes) in Node-Red.
(I just checked with a new one, because it had been a while, and that still works)

Now I am trying to add a select, by setting that option in the ha-entity-config node , then adding a few 'options'
The select just wont become available in HomeAssistant.
I tried to restart NR, I tried to restart HA (none of which was necessary for the button.

I have tried combinations of get value, set value or listen to change (modes)
I have tried creating a 'device' that this select could be part of.

It just won't show in HA
It does say "registered at May24, 00:16 .. so i guess there isnt too much wrong with the node??

Anything I am missing?

Thanks

edit: I am re-reading the help-text within node-red. For the type (which is mandatory) there are (in the help-text) only 4 types (values) given:
binary_sensor|button|sensor|switch
But on the panel on the left, and also within the config editor, I can still select one of eight types.

edit2: number types also don't show up in HA

What's the version of your installed Node-RED companion custom component?

Hi, sorrry, I kept the window open to see if someone replied, but the github page doesn't update automatically.
So I just see your response.

Version: 0.75.0
Home Assistant version: 2025.5.3
Companion version: 1.1.2
Node-RED version: 4.0.9
Docker: yes
Add-on: 19.0.2
Node.js version: v22.13.1 x64 linux
OS: Linux 6.12.23-haos x64

But is this version only for the Home assistant column (from API to zone) or also for the HomeAssistnat entities (that I guess are the issue for me?)
I have solved the immediate issue by creating an input_select as a HA-helper.

Please let me know if there is anything I can check

The current version of the Node-RED Companion integration is v4.1.2, while you have v1.1.2 installed. To utilize the latest Home Assistant entities in Node-RED, you'll need to update the integration.

My bad, My bad... I thought the integration would automatically update like other integrations.
(Seems like mine has not updated since i installed huh?)

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your response
