I have 2 zwave switches that are showing up as bulbs in home kit. One is a dimmer and the other is not. I verified the devices are using the same device type as other switches that are showing up as switches in home kit. Any advice on how to trouble shoot this? I would like to get this fixed because my OCD is going nuts. :-)

@xxKeoxx I'm having this happen but oddly only recently and not with all the bulbs... As a solution we might be able to use something like Trendsetter to trick homekit/homebridge into thinking it's a dimmer, I'm trying now.

@xxKeoxx I figured it out this evening, for whatever reason the GE Link device handler doesn't have the Light capability. Simply create a new device handler from the GE Link Bulb template, add capability "Light" to that capability list, and set your devices to use that handler. I'm baffled as to why this isn't listed as a capability honestly.
