Support smart sockets (switch domain)
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Describe the feature that you would like to be added
I have various lights connected to home assistant via deconz as simple on/off switches. The sockets themselves are IKEA tradfri. I would like to make these available to the Hue app.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I only found this awesome add on today. Worked first time, apart from my desk lamps weren’t available. I guess I can probably create a template light in HA but it’s kinda clunky without brightness control. I was using emulated hue which does expose on/off.
Describe your use case for this feature
For my office room, I would like my Hue dimmable ceiling light and on/off desk lamp to be in the same room / group.
Additional context
The current workaround is to use template lights. Will look into implementing this in the future.
I'm having the same problem with a Lidl socket. Is there a simple example somewhere about how to use templates to resolve this? I can't get my head around the official example: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/light.template/
