Make Sonoff basic be detected as light switch instead of wall plug.

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.

Any updates on this?

eWeLink with ifan3 = Fan (3 speeds) + light --------- Google assistant = light icon (no fan speed)

ITEAD, please update app (google assistant api) with devices types!

Same problem. My kitchen lights are listed as Wall plugs. Any solution yet?

So, recently I bought 3 light switches and 1 wall plug. The wall plug came up as a light switch on the app and the light switches came up as wall plugs. FIX this please...... . Gets me angry.

Actually there is a workaround with Google home, if you name your switch with the word « light » or « fan » it will appear as a light or a fan in Google home.
