Open/Close Sensor or Door Sensor?

Just found out the text of the alerts is configurable from the apps, very good. However, I still don't understand the cause of the different device category name and different default text.

Actually, they even send different alerts. The sensor that gets published as "Door sensor" sends alerts with the text "Door 1 On Message sent by INSTEON" for both open and close actions, while the sensor that gets published as "Open/Close Sensor" sends alerts with the text "Door 2 Closed Message sent by INSTEON" and "Door 2 Opened Message sent by INSTEON". Weird, eh? I wonder whether this comes from the hub or the devices, though. I might have enabled some specific behaviour by wrongly pressing the set button.

In my case I have two open/close sensors not the hidden one. They are both the same type.

There are two different types of sensor that can be used to detect (and respond to) the opening an closing of a door. There's an Open/Close Sensor and also a Hidden Door Sensor.

I have installed two seemingly identical open/close sensors behind two doors. However one of them is reported as "Door Sensor" in the Windows 8 Hub app, while the other is reported as "Open/Close Sensor" and therefore they are not listed in the same category in the Quick View section of the app. The Windows Phone 8 and Android app see both of them as "Open/Close Sensor". Are there different types of sensors or is this more likely a software issue in the Windows 8 app?
