I know this is a TINY problem but I am trying to make a smart home that works just as well in HA as it works in Alexa and google Home and Home Kit.
The problem is once you have a switch show in Alexa you can change it to a light but you can’t change it to a PLUG. And I want this device to fall into the correct Plug category in Alexa.
So is their a YAML file that you can edit to get more fine control of how items are entities are exposed to Alexa?
I found my mistake.
I will publish the fix if anyone else has this issue.
The issue was somehow the plug inside Home Assistant was a SWITCH.
Sadly just fixing it NOW in Home Assistant will not fix it in Alexa.
To fix it in Alexa you had to stop publishing it to Alexa in Home Assistant. Then remove the device from Alexa because Alexa will not remove devices you must always do that manually.
Now add it back in Home Assistant to be published to Alexa.
Just changing it in Home Assistant Alexa wouldn’t allow a device it knew at one time was a Switch to become a plug it had to be removed.
Warning that means if that device is used in any routines in Alexa it will be removed from them and you will have to re-add it.
