Change switch type to light

Feature Requests

Very often a simple switch is used to control a light just on and off. It should be possible to change the entity type for switch to light in the UI itself instead of using the yaml and inserting crazy amounts of entries if you have 20,30 lights in your home…

The way it is now will make the yaml troubleshooting much more complicated for such a simple thing.

If a switch is not light then it cannot be used in blueprints etc.

I see you have multiple posts about YAML to UI migrations, while devs are working on some improvements, if you are capable, you can also raise a PR to improve UI based experience, but opening multiple posts will not help to get it

I am opening post about 2 different basic features, not 2 topics for the same thing. Beside some I am not a programmer and feedback is all I can do to help.
