We should be able to change Matter device types as part of onboarding and management. My specific use case is for Tapo S505 wall switches that are onboarded as “light” but really need to be “switch” for a ceiling fan.
You might have to change that is the native app. That’s an odd one.
Agreed, unfortunately the Tapo app doesn’t let me change the type. I noticed in Google Home I was able to change the device type but I have no such luck in Apple Home or Home Assistant.
I have to +1 this - I have a Leviton D215S switch that comes up in the Light domain, and there is no way to switch it to the Switch domain in the app (the non-Matter integration into HA even shows all objects as Lights, even when they’re not)
