device_class not propagated as expected to MQTT

[pvyleta]

Description

I hope this is not a rookie mistake, but I am lost after several hours of trying.

I want to properly show the values of my Heat Recovery Unit in HomeAssistant with the right category of data, e.g. for carbon dioxide, I want them to be shown as such. For this I made change in mqtt-hassio.cfg in type_switch-number

type_switch-number =
    sensor,,total_increasing = poweron|count,
    sensor,temperature,measurement = temp|,°C$
    sensor,temperature,measurement = temp|,K$
    sensor,power_factor,measurement = power*%%
    sensor,power,measurement = power|,kW$|,W$
    sensor,voltage,measurement = volt|,V$
    sensor,current,measurement = current,|,A$
    sensor,,measurement = integral|,°min$
    sensor,energy,total_increasing = energy|,Wh$
    sensor,yield,total_increasing = total*,Wh$
    sensor,duration,total_increasing = hours|days|,h$
    sensor,,total_increasing = starts*,$
    sensor,pressure,measurement = bar$|Pa$
    sensor,gas,measurement = gas*/min$
    sensor,gas,total_increasing = air*total*,m³$
    sensor,volume,total_increasing = total*,m³$
    sensor,volume,measurement = m³$
    sensor,volume_flow_rate,measurement = m³/h$
    sensor,carbon_dioxide,measurement = *co2*,ppm$
    sensor,humidity,measurement = humid*%%$
    sensor,, =

This does work for pressure, duration and volume, however, my added definition for gas (air*total*,m³$), volume_flow_rate (m³/h$) and carbon_dioxide (*co2*,ppm$) is failing to be picked up, as can be seen from the default icons here:

but mainly from the logs:

Actual behavior

"device_class": is missing from the published value type

Expected behavior

"device_class": is present based on the pattern provided in type_switch-number
