| attribution | string | `None` | The branding text required by the API provider. |
| available | boolean | `True` | Indicate if Home Assistant is able to read the state and control the underlying device. |
| device_class | string | `None` | Extra classification of what the device is. Each domain specifies their own. Device classes can come with extra requirements for unit of measurement and supported features. |
| entity_category | string | `None` | Classification of a non-primary entity. Set to `config` for an entity which allows changing the configuration of a device, for example a switch entity making it possible to turn the background illumination of a switch on and off. Set to `diagnostic` for an entity exposing some configuration parameter or diagnostics of a device but does not allow changing it, for example a sensor showing RSSI or MAC-address. Set to `system` for an entity which is not useful for the user to interact with. As an example the auto generated energy cost sensors are not useful on their own because they reset from 0 every time home assistant is restarted or the energy settings are changed and thus have their entity category set to `system`. |

| entity_picture | URL | `None` | Url of a picture to show for the entity. |
| extra_state_attributes | dict | `None` | Extra information to store in the state machine. It needs to be information that further explains the state, it should not be static information like firmware version. |
| name | string | `None` | Name of the entity |
