what seems to be the problem? :)

Typically, this is an issue of "visibility". Personally, I hide these "all" switches in Home Assistant by setting hidden: true, so I don't see them in Home Assistant. To affect HomeBridge I use "default_visibility": "hidden", so everything is hidden by default, then use homebridge_visible: true to surface the things I want to see in the Home app.

Does this info in the documentation help?
