Type not working for HomeKit!

Third party integrations Homebridge

I have been scratching my head over this for a while! I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong. I have checked if it was my tabbing and if i take out ‘type’ it works, but when it put it back in it doesn’t.

Invalid config for [homekit]: [type] is an invalid option for [homekit]. Check: homekit->homekit->entity_config->type. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 92). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/homekit/

This is the error i get

homekit:

Figured it out. Its becuase you can only use type: for switches. This is weird to me as i would like to modify my dimmer switches to be only switches not lights. I don’t know if it makes sense
