KS205 - No “Display as” in Apple Homekit, Why?
Just like the Kasa outlet plugs, I would really LOVE the firmware to be updated on the KS205 to support “Display As” in HomeKit. Not everyone is using this switch as a light. It could be controlling a ceiling fan, or an outlet, a bathroom ventilation fan, or any other 120v wired device, etc.
Why doesn't Kasa update the firmware to support this? Their outlet plugs do, I don't get it.

Maybe because KASA defines the switch as LIGHT switch Homekit obeys the definition of a Light. If KASA on defined/declared it as a switch the we would be free to set it up as a ceiling fan.

I don't disagree, but see thread above. Kasa rep said it's the matter tech and apple. Recently got feedback from Apple saying it's Kasa who controls this. Here's hoping for some updates....

@Riley_S just following back up. Any updates with your developer team based on what Apple has told us? Looks like Kasa is in control on this fix.
