ESPhome IR change switch to light

ESPHome
1

I have the below configuration running on an esphome device. The switch gets passed to HA and then I use the light platform - switch to change it to a light.

Is there any way on the ESP device to change the switch to a light and pass that to HA? I’ve messed around with the code, but can’t find out how to do it. I’ve tried a binary light and a template.

switch:
  - platform: template
    name: "Bedroom 3 Light"
    optimistic: true
    turn_on_action:
      remote_transmitter.transmit_raw:

I think you want a template output connected to a binary light.
