Change type of device

Configuration
1

Hi,

Via the Hue hub (Zigbee) I’ve added a Osram Smart + switch to my setup. All good and great, using homekit and via HA its being added automatically. Problem is tough that homekit sees this device as a on/off light bulb.
I’ve tried to change the type in the configuration.yaml file but because its being registered as a light, the type option is not supported.

Does anyone has a solution to change the type of this device in HA/Homekit?

entity_config:
    light.onoff_plug_1:
        type: switch

Hi,

Bumping this topic as I’m really struggling to find info how to “customise” the configuration of hue connected devices. I have a switch controlling a light that is discovered as an RGB light. I’m trying to figure out to tell HA that it’s a standard light switch.

Was there any solution to this problem?

cheers.
