Ability to set "device type" on a per-switch basis?

Ideas & Suggestion

It would be handy to be able to select per switch - what you would like a device to come up as…

eg - I could have a 3 or 4 gang switch… one device could be a light… one could be a extractor fan… one could connect to a relay and control a door open / closed…

If these values reported back correctly to things like google home etc - it would make the expereince way way more pleasurable…

Another use case - in my lounge I have an ifan4 - it sees the light, as an actual light…

I also have a sonoff T0 - controlling some lights - these do not register in google home as lights… this would surely be a trivial selection option in the device settings if coded to expose this option?

Hi there, some of our devices already support the “Display As” function, and we are actively adding more options for users to choose from. You can access these options under “Device Settings > Display As.”

aaaah - this is so epic - it must have crept in with one of the recent software updates… I see you can seperate a switch to multiple tiles now… that solves quite a few of my previous frustrations.

it might be handy if there was a changelog, or list of new features easily accessible (maybe there is - but I have not stumbled across it yet)

high-5 to everyone that got that dev work done - what a huge improvement!
