I have 40 non-dimming Z-Wave wall switches, and ten Sonoff Basic Wifi switches that ALL control lights.
I’d like to be able to put them in “light groups”, along with the dimming wall switches that also control lights.
It would be great if there was a way to completely move them into the light domain where they really belong.

Have you tried to use the light template?
Perfect timing! @OttoWinter 's custom component.
Ever had the problem that some integration would expose some entities as switches, when they really were lights? With my new custom light proxy platform you can easily convert all switches to lights (without any complicated templates)
In most cases it’s as simple as this:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
light:
- platform: proxy
name: Kitchen Lights
entity_id: switch.kitchen_lights_as_switch
This will copy the states of switch.kitchen_lights_as_switch into a new light.kitchen_ligh…

@OttoWinter @VDRainer A while back there was a breaking change that stopped this proxy component from working.
Nevermind, I just found that it was added to HA directly. “platform: switch”
Also, since this was originally posted in March of 2018, there is now the Light Switch component which is specifically for making a switch into a light without having to use a template light or custom components.
