Blueprint for new entities like Light, Switch, etc

Configuration Blueprints

(I searched but found nothing about this question)

Is there possibile to create Switches or Lights via Blueprints?
I’m currently able to add Template Sensors and Binary_sensors using:

- use_blueprint:
    path: filename.yaml
    input:
      input_1: "abc"
  name: "Sensor name"
  unique_id: unique_iiiiiid

blueprint:
  name: NAME
  domain: template  (<-- I also tried to change it to 'light' or 'switch' and put it to relative YAML file)
  input:
    input_1:
      name: Input1
      selector: ...
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: !input 'input_1'
sensor OR binary_sensor: (<-- tried to use 'light' or 'switch' without success)
   ...

but I didn’t found any way to do same thing for Lights and Switches.
I have many of those that I would like to convert in a blueprint to avoid needing to edit all of them at each change/fix I would made.

Thx in advance

I’m interested in the resulting YAML.
I’m using HA Core and Blueprints cannot be created from where you said.
However you say to set Domain to “Light” or “Switch” but I’ve already explained that I’ve tried that without success.

It seems just you wrote a guide for create normal Bluetprints but not for the specific case I need…

Unfortunately the person replying above has no idea what they are talking about.

No you currently cannot blueprint a light or switch, only the template entities that explicitly fall under the template integration. And even those seem far from fully featured/debugged yet.
