Lights showing up as Other in Home app #168

Closed garyhooper closed 1 year ago

garyhooper commented 1 year ago

Describe Your Problem: I have both Z-Wave dimmer switches and standard light switches. In the Home app, the dimmer switches are displayed under "Lights", but the standard switches show up under "Other". Is there a way to control the latter, so that they show up as Lights? (Note that I do have some single-pole switches controlling devices other than lights, so it's good that they are showing up under Other.)

The switches are registered into homebridge as switches. Not sure what you mean by "Under Other". In the home app, you can edit the config for any switch and have home show it as a switch, a light, or a fan. I'm referring to the mobile app.

@iklein99 thank you! I hadn't seen this before, and it resolves my issue.
