Imported Automations are not discussed

Feedback

The integration seems to import existing automations. I understand that these are going to be not editable as automations, but they have a great big toggle switch button. I would expect the switch to turn these automations on and off at the hue end (not trigger but activate/inactivate). However the switch does not seem to switch them at the Hue end (which would be very useful). The switch status does however correctly reflect the On/Off switch status of each Hue automation at the outset.

Some explanation is required.

Hey there @balloob, @marcelveldt, mind taking a look at this feedback as it has been labeled with an integration (hue) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

Just to add more detail to this problem

a) Automations that are on the hue bridge are properly reflected by the hue integration (including the on/off status of each which is imported as a switch

b) Problem 1: However actually toggling that switch in HA would be expected to toggle the active/inactive status of the automation on the bridge (and in the hue app). But it does not. It simply comes up with an irrelevant and odd error

c) Problem 2: There is absolutely nothing about the imported automation switches in the Documentation.
