Add PowerOnOff Switch as supported zigbee component for ESP32

Describe the enhancement

Currently, the Zigbee component only supports Binary sensor and sensor for ESP-32.
In future it should also support Switch component.

Use cases

I would like to extend my existing Zigbee mesh network with multiple sensors and also switches to control different action, such as relays for water irrigation. For my setup, it's important to integrate them via Zigbee and not Wifi, as the main-powered ones should be used as Zigbee mesh router for other battery-powered sleepy zigbee end devices.

Unfortunately it's not possible to create Zigbee switches with ESPHome at the moment. Therefore I'm creating them with Arduino IDE nowadays, which is way more complicated and error-prone. Having this would enable switching more devices to ESPHome :)

Anything else?

Switch support will come soon. At the moment we are blocked by the sdk upgrade so everything is delayed.

Hi @luar123 thanks a lot!
Do you have a rough timeline when this will most probably become available?

Maybe in 2026.9, depends on how fast review goes
