Hi at all.
At first i love your plugin. it helped me a lot in serveral ways.

I use the "homebridge-switchbot" plugin with a SwitchBot bot on my old door to push the "open door-button".

Since it stop working on my raspberry pi 4 and the support dont answer, i use an switchbot matter hub to activate the SwitchBot bot back in HomeKit and to open the door again.

OpenWonderLabs/homebridge-switchbot#1155

But with the matter hub the bot is displayed as "normal" switch in the home app and not as "door"-typ (icon) anymore.

And now I need an extra dummy-switch to set an automation that change the status from the door switch back to "off" after the bot press the "door open-Button"
If not after the door is opens once, the switch status in HomeKit is still in "on" mode. So the Siri command wouldn't work because Siri say the switch "door" is still "open/on".

So i would like to ask if you guys have an open ear for an setting like display in HomeKit as "type of device" like in the homebridge-switchbot plugin:

Than we all could enjoy the nice icons, types and trigger for example the SwitchBot bot with them (and hide the SwitchBot bot from HomeKit dashboard) and we could delete several dummy switches.

Would love to see something like this. Any chance? ☺️
