Switch as light

[ricmik]

Hi,

I see in the const.py file of the pyplejd package that relays like REL-01-2P are defined as switches. However, in Home Assistant the REL-01-2P is shown as a light. Is this because the device was created with an earlier version of hass_plejd, or are relays created as lights from the hass_plejd integration?

My point is that relays should be created as switches in Home Assistant. If the switch then actually controls a light, "Switch as X" should be used in Home Assistant to replace the switch with a light device. :)

Hi. Is this still an issue? Relays should report as switches unless you have selected a light as their load setting in the Plejd app.

Hi, that makes sense. I tried reconfiguring the output on my relay from light to "other". The light device in HA stopped working, I deleted the non-working light in HA and expected the Plejd integration to present the switch entity instead.

Now the REL-01-2P device is still in HA, but there are no switches or light entities on it. How can I delete or refresh the device with the new configuration from Plejd? A restart of HA does not help.

@thomasloven Any advice to how I can get the controls back for this device after I have changed the type from Light to Switch in the Plejd-app?

Could you please send me your diagnostics data?

I tried to download the diagnostics data, but I get an error in the log file:

If the problem is not fixed already, version 0.8.0 should at least fix the diagnostics problem.

[ricmik]

Hi, I was able to download the diagnostics file with 0.8.0. The device in question is named "Speil Badet" config_entry-plejd-55f44f24c59b1c39068b6883956b8fcd.json.txt

[thomasloven]

It seems you have chosen to hide that device in the Plejd app.

[ricmik]

You're right. Making the device visible in the Plejd app made it appear in Home Assistant. Thanks! :)
