You need to use the entry type you pass to the source's constructor.
The browser source class, of which your source is a subclass, creates
query models (which select entries to be displayed in the source)
using the source's entry type property.

Also, you probably want to include something unique to the device in
the entry URI, otherwise you won't be able to handle multiple devices
at the same time.
