They are called entities. To use them in automations you have to call the light service and target the entity with the light.on
Oh, man! Thank you - I had been beating my head against this.

@JustCallMeCrash no worries!
Can we have this documented? It took me some time figure this out. It's counterintuitive, because this is very different to the kasa switches/plugs which I had already working. I was assuming it would be the same.
Actually I created a workaround by editing the yaml like this (copied from the kasa switches and using a random id):
- type: turn_on
device_id: 2c9119983fa5b04fb090722fa7c4ebf5
entity_id: switch.kitchen_window_lights
domain: switch
I was going to file a bug, but found this issue when searching for it.

Yep, same as above. I scratched my head a while desperately looking for a bulb device to add to my automation before I dug up that thread. I think it would be worth adding this "Call service" example to the readme :wink: Thank you again for the handy integration !
@oliverkurth @oudoulj I will type something up in the readme!
I have added a section to the readme in this commit: https://github.com/JoshuaMulliken/ha-wyzeapi/commit/db71d27baab72d622fd97701fb4482f98624cdba
Trying to automate some of my Wyze devices, but they don't show up in the list when I try to automate them. I have 8 Wyze bulbs and 4 Wyze plugs, they all show up on Lovelace, but aren't available for automations.
