Relay recognition

[italianpodge]

First of all - thankyou so much for this integration. The Vimar app is very slow and the calls this makes direct to the webserver is a great feature.

It's possibly a strangeness of the way I have programmed my devices but all of the relays are appearing in Home Assistant as lights. I have some relays that activate solanoids for water valves and the garbage disposal which is a bus relay controlled plug socket. I would prefer these not to appear as lights if possible even though I can give them a friendly name.

The integration does recognise that the device below is configured as a "PRESA" in the Vimar object name which in Italian means socket and is correct, but then it has a Vimar device type of light which is incorrect.

Vimar object ID
7540
Vimar object name
PRESA 1 CAMERA 02
Vimar object type
CH_Main_Automation
Vimar device type
light
Vimar icon
mdi:ceiling-light
Vimar room friendly name
Camera 02
Status ID
5663
Status value
0
Status range
min=0|max=1

All of this would actually work for me fine if I could change the "Show as" device type in HA, the shutter devices have the option to be changed to "door" or "window" etc. That option is missing for the lights, if I look at a smart plug I added as a toggle they can also be changed to different objects in this way.

• Environment: Synology Docker Core install
• Home-Assistant Version: Home Assistant 2023.4.6
• By-me web server Version: 2.10

Once again thanks so much for this it's really brought my setup from the dark ages into a much more usable solution without going to the cloud which I would like to avoid.
