They’re immediately recognized in ZHA and I can switch them on/off and everything works very well, I even get power-related entities.
Except: they’re not discovered as switches, but as lights.
This is annoying because I’ve got an automation that turns off all lights of all rooms and switches when I leave home, and another one that just turns on the lights of a specific room. This means devices connected to these smart plugs get turned on automatically, which is not what I want.
Is there something I could do to requalify a light as a switch? I only found a blueprint which does the opposite.
Thank you,
Ben
I couldn’t find any menu that offers to change the entity from light to switch.
When I go to Device → Entities → The Tool Icon on the top right is about customizing the columns in the list.
When I click on the entity, there’s a tool icon on the top right of the modal where I can customize the entity (name, icon, id, label, voice assistants, enabled, visible, device area) but no such thing as changing the entity’s type?
PS: There is also a helper that can change device type of a switch to a light but I do not think there are any helpers that can change device type from light to a switch, or?
