Switch comes up as light entity

[bjoern17000]

Hello. I’m newbie, tried searching, couldn’t find anything.
I have a 220V 10A switch, that comes up as light entity. Therefor I can not create a Generic Thermostat with it. Any ideas how to change?

go into device setting and set it to a switch in “show switch as”
