Amazon smart switch shows up as a Dimmer FYI

More of an FYI, I've been slowly moving the various zigbee devices out of smartthings and into hubitat (a path that a lot of folks seem to be following) and have these smart switches (Amazon.com: Made for Amazon Zigbee Smart Switch, Gen3. Compatible with Echo (4th Gen), Echo Plus (1st & 2nd Gen), Echo Show 10 (2nd & 3rd Gen), Echo Studio, Eero, and Eero 6 Pro : Amazon Devices & Accessories) that conveniently fit over an existing switch and can turn it off/on. They are neat as they run on a battery, don't require any wiring as they fit just right over the existing swtich, and work with toggles or paddles.

Anywho it was added just fine to hubitat but where detected as a Dimmer and I couldn't control them. I switched them to a Generic Zigbee Switch and thing is working just dandy now.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone else runs into this.

I use these as a kind of in-between on switches I haven't replaced yet, or in one case a switch that doesn't have a neutral wire and a Lutron casseta dimmer wouldn't work all that well in the room (there is just a single ceiling fan)

I also use this on my fireplace and use the generic zigbee switch driver. works great
