Exact same device types get interpreted as different device types #229

I have a lot of Klik aan Klik uit switches at home. They sometimes get interpreted by HomeBridge as actual Lights, whereas sometimes they get interpreted as Switches. I am currently running into the fact that, because they are sometimes synced as Lights, I automatically turn on something that's not an actual light, along with all the lights in a room. It would be really great if this can be resolved. I looked at the JSON from Domoticz in which the type is noted but do not a difference at all, they look exactly alike (other than the name and IDX of course). Would be great to have the ability to choose the type in HomeBridge, but I am not sure whether that is difficult to achieve...

In my experience this can be due to the icon you have set in Domoticz. When the icon is set to "Generic" (Red push button) it is interpreted as a switch in homebridge. When the default icon is used (a light bulb), homebridge interprets it as a light.
