Areas dashboard - switches not showing in light summary

Configuration Frontend

In the built-in Areas dashboard, each area shows a quick visual summary of some basic devices and their state. For instance, my office shows that I have at least 1 light on and that the window covers are open:

However, for my basement bathroom, there is no summary shown:

I believe this is because the entities I have included in the basement bathroom area are categorized as “switches” rather than “lights”. Is there a way to include these “switches” (all light switches) so that they show up in a light summary?

Hi, if you go into the device cogwheel, you can change “Show switch as” to many options, including light. Once you change it, it’ll show up in the summary.
