Change fan to a light switch

Configuration

I have rewired a fan (Tuya’s Fan Dimmer Switch DS03) switch to control a ceiling light. Now wondering how to make it a basic light switch in HA. Please help

I’ve looked into it but that fan entity doesn’t show up. I assume it’s because it’s a “fan”. Correcting the topic name.

I assume I need this Template Switch - Home Assistant but not sure how to configure it.

Sorry, haven’t checked enough, you’re right.
