"Turn on all the lights" - could i request a feature to present hue sync as an outlet not a lightbulb #54

currently as hue sync box is presented as a lightbulb the commands "turn off all the lights" works fine, but "turn on all the lights" in the house turns the sync mode on, and puts the bulbs associated to the hub into huesync mode, rather than no mode.

could we either request an option to present as an outlet, that wont be picked up in lighting commands, or have some other lighting pass though mode? - unless i have misunderstood how this feature works

thanks and great job with the plugin.

Version 0.8.0 now contains a setting for exposing a switch instead of a lightbulb. Keep in mind that with a switch, the brightness cannot be changed.

Amazing thanks Lukas this is just perfect for my needs of triggering onward automations!
