Onkyo Virtual Device shows up as Device Type Switch in Google Home

Modeling everything as a virtual switch falls short for a number of devices.

The community app is the way to go. I have an onkyo and it works great with the community google home app.

I'm super busy ATM, however I will contribute the code back. I'm going to move all my inovelli switches over to the community GH app shortly!

thanks everyone,
