Avoid that is detected as light only. #258

Probably is not related to fauxmoESP, but im curious to see if somebody has found a workaround. Every thing that i create is detected as light. (in the past was detected as switch if i remeber well but i suppose that something is changed in the alexa app, not in fauxmo). I use it to turn on my media center... But because is detected as light when i say: "Alexa turn off light." or "Alexa turn off all the lights" alexa turn off also the mediacenter. In the alexa app is not possible to change device type for fauxmoESP devices (but is possible to do with other devices for example with alexa plug) I also made a little mail box that raise the flag when you receive emails and on the back there are 4 USB ports remotable with fauxmo esp... and all turn off when i say "Lights off" is a pity... Suggestion, workaround? Modifications? Regars. Enrico.
