Zigbee device wrong category ( light instead of switch )

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi,
I have several Aqara switch’s connected to HA by zigbee ( skyconect)
All my switches are “categorized” as switch’s but one is “categorized” as light,

it’s possible to change it ?
When I try to use this to trigger automations the options that i have are from “light’s” instead of “switches”.

Thank you for your help

in configuration.yaml

zha:  
  device_config:
    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx-1:
      type: "switch"

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx being the IEEE-address of your Aqara switch

Francisp,

Do you know how to add several devices using this method? Works with one but not sure how to add another. Tried the below code but configuration.yaml failed.

Any help would be great

Cheers

zha:  
  device_config:
    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx-1: #IEEE device 1
    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx-1: #IEEE device 2
    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx-1: #IEEE device etc
      type: "switch

In the entities property panel, you can change that. Youll see a “Show as” dropdown.
Click on the entity, then the gear icon.

Hi francisp,

Thank you for your answer, unfortunately it didn’t work.
When i try to use this device as trigger for automations the options showed are still not the same of the other switches :confused:

Thank you,

You can change the domain, but you can’t change the capabilities.

Have you tried using a Helper to change the device type? Not sure if this would work in your case, but maybe worth a try. Go to Settings/Devices and Services and choose the Helper tab from the top. Then select Create Helper from the bottom right side. Also, you might try to reset the device and re-add it and hopefully it will show up correctly. Problem solved. I had a few Zigbee lights showing up as RGBW when in fact they were just tunable white. Took a few attempts to readd them, but it eventually got it right.
