Woo hoo on the smart home new skill going live! I installed it and I think I removed the V2. I like the new switch icons.
I edited my Master Bedroom group as a test and added the newly discovered switch objects. This group has an Echo Dot associated to it.
"Alexa, turn on the lights" results in "I can't find lights."
"Alexa, turn on the Master Bedroom" results in all of the HS-WS100+ switches in the group being turned on. Ok, that's a good start.
When editing the newly discovered devices within the Alexa app I see they are set as type "Switch."
The old representation (or whatever this object is) shows "Light."
Is there a way to specify certain switches as lights so they're included in the natural language commands without specifying the group name? The switches in that room are a mix of switched outlets and ceiling lights as seen below.
