Sonoff zigbee devices can come in as the wrong type, depending on the use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

zha:\n  device_config:\n    00:12:4b:00:1b:79:7d:7b-1:    # format: {ieee}-{endpoint_id}\n      type: 'light'    <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The ieee can be found on the device information and the endpoint will normally be 1 for simple switches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
