Super cool! how do I make it accurate?

Recent upgrade to the new GUI. Okay- it's got a wow factor!

So. in my case, it's inaccurate but I want it!

Lights is showing incorrect count. clicking on it shows me the list, and it's picking up Virtual switches (that show awake vs sleeping EG;) and outlets I use for computer monitors. How do I configure what is a 'Light?'.
Climate is showing my office. My office temp is not my house temp. How do I pick what is used from my sensors?
How do I get a tile of this info or is this something @thebearmay is going to pounce on as he so often does?
Thank you for reading.

I believe the intention is to allow the user to select each device type on the device page, sort of like on a dashboard where you pick the template. Then that would be used on that Home Screen for the roll ups. I don’t think that part made it in yet, right now it is just picking by itself.

You’ve been using Hubitat for nearly five years, so you no doubt are aware that firmware releases are beta tested. While this occurs, they squash bugs that are reported and they listen to user opinions on new features.

This release was no different in that regard.

They can only obtain so much user feedback on new features during beta testing before a wider group of “testers” is needed, i.e. the entire user base.

Particularly for a major update to the basic hub administrative user interface. That kind of user feedback is always going to be subjective; there could be as many different opinions on how it looks as there are individual users.

Thanks for sharing your opinion on how this aspect of the UI could be improved. I’m sure they’ll take it into consideration, particularly if other users have similar feedback.

Yeah, I think you are right.

It is pretty useless for me in its current form, but I'm sure it will improve in future releases.

This is what shows up under "lights" for me - none of these are lights:
