No fix within a week as promised. I'm still suffering the whole troubleshooting process on a new ticket. Lame...
As per last APK update the sonoff basic are detected as switch by default instead plugs, still they are not listed under lights menu from Google Home so this feature was partially solved only. I really think sonoff basic needs a toogle in the config process to select between plug, swith or lights in order to work proportly.
Hi Mauricio,
Yes, problem is light switch and lights is not the same for google app, Sonoff B1 bulbs are correctly identified as light bulbs and listes under lights menu so Im sure ITEAD knows how to do it....
I would push for a toogle to set sonoff basic between plugs, switchs or bulbs per user demmand, that would be perfect.
Ive filled a new ticket as Ive fund the reply is faster if you open a tech ticket support.
But still not listed as lights on the lights group for the app...
Similar problem here: I have a bunch of sonoff basic, some new and some old. In google home some are shown as outlet and some as switch.

Im using sonof touch without problem, but in another room I use sonoff basic for one of my roof lights.
The problem is that sonof basic is detected as socket / plug instead of light. So if I say Google to turn on my lights it only turn on my touch one.
Maybe an option to let set if use sonoff basic as plug or light switch.
