@amccardie's recent enhancement to support Vera UI5 highlighted that device.category was being used by HA, and so the code had to override the categories from Vera to get HA to treat them the same way.
Given we already have classes for most device types I think it's better for library user to depend on classes rather than categories.
This also highlighted that some sensor types weren't being mapped as sensors, and that what was called a sensor class was really a binary sensor.
I also removes the turn on / turn off code from the sensor - since it doesn't really make sense.
Coded - but not yet tested.
Will require a paired HA vera change - also coded but not yet tested.
