Hidden switches don't show up

[pierrei]

I just tried out the project and boy does it work well! Apart from one thing :D

I have a few switches (SPR-01) that are configured in the Plejd app to be hidden from the room they're in. These do not show up in HA at all. I have to un-hide them in the Plejd app and restart HA, then they show up. Would be amazing if devices for these switches were created in HA and set to hidden there when they are hidden in Plejd.

Thanks for a great project!

I had a look and this might be in the direction of what I'm thinking: https://github.com/thomasloven/hass-plejd/compare/master...pierrei:hass-plejd:pierrei/add-hidden-devices

@pierrei I think you are on the right track with this change. Have you tested it out locally?

[thomasloven]

Looks good to me. Would you mind making a PR?

[pierrei]

I'll test it myself now and if all works well I'll create a PR 👍

[pierrei]

Yes, it's working well! The devices show up in the device list but the switches in this case are hidden "by integration". I'll create the PR!

Is there anything we need to account for on updates btw? If the integration has been set up and devices created, if a user later hides something in Plejd should we also push an update to HA to update visibility? 🤔

That is not supported by HA according to the documentation for entity_registry_visible_default:

Return if the entity should be visible when first added.

This only applies when fist added to the entity registry.

I think this is as good as it gets!
