But I don’t know how to set customize rule for discovered switch. I can set an “host” and “name” for this “switch” but when I use
switch:

  • platform: orvibo (withous “host” and “name” params)
    how to use customize rule to set the friendly name and put this switch to particular group?

I am not sure if I understand what you are wanting to do. Is the switch.switch_name consistent between reboots? If it is dependent on IP it may change with each reboot. Docs say that host (IP) is required in config.

If not I would look at trying to use mac address I think, I don’t know if it will work for switch name but should for friendly name.

Maybe edit something like this to the mac address of the switch in your known_devices.yaml file and see if it sticks after a restart.

kitchen_switch:
  name: switch_friendly_name
  mac: AC:CF:23:50:7C:D3
  picture:
  track: no
  hide_if_away: no

If the switch.switch_name is consistent between boots you can use customise.

Is there any reason not to set a static IP for the switches?
