Hi,
To clarify the requirement, you want to be able to define a valve instead of a switch when configuring the component?

I do not have any devices that are presented as a valve, but assuming the valve.open, valve.close services are the equivalent of switch.on and switch.off services then it should not be a huge problem, it would be even better if they responded to the switch commands the change would then be very simple.

I will need to understand the set to position requirement if that is needed. What device do you use that is a valve?

Hello
thank you for your anwer
yes It will be fine to also be able to define a valve instead of a switch.

I have a self made (ESP32 + relay) MQTT node . onestly it's not 100% necessary to have this feature. it's more a nice to have feature
