ConBee II - Domoticz - Deconz, error: This device don't support action

Hi all,
Installed yesterday my new ConBee II USB and added the first Zigbee switch to it (Blitzwolf SHP13).
I can switch the outlet from the Phoscon web interface.
Next step was to add Zigbee to Domoticz (2020.2).
Installed Deconz plugin, generated API, added hardware and the SHP13 shows up. Even power figures show up.
The SHP13 was initially added as "Push On" button. I changed that to On/Off.
I can't switch the SHP13 from Domoticz. An error message appears in the log:

Code: Select all

2021-02-20 10:19:42.409 Status: User: admin initiated a switch command (1697/BWZ01 - test/Off)
2021-02-20 10:19:42.427 Error: (Deconz 192.168.178.143) This device don't support action
Googled on this error message but no real clues.

The SHP13 appeared as light in Phoscon. I expected that it would appear as switch.
I do not see a way to change that kind of detail in Phoscon. Is it correct that it is added as light?

I must have done something wrong but can't figure out what.
Anyone have a clue?
Thanks!!

Domoticz 2020.2 on a Raspberry Pi
ConBee II firmware 2.09.03 (26660700). Installed in a separate Raspberry Pi
Deconz plugin Domoticz version 1.0.16

Hello, Your device can create 1 "light" device and 1 "sensor" (for consumption if your device support it)
The "light" one need to be a "light/switch, switch, on/off"

This error happen when you try to send a command to a "sensor" instead of a "light", for exemple using virtual sensors.
The SHP13 appeared as light in Phoscon. I expected that it would appear as switch.

Yep he need to be a light, switch are used to receive command, when you press it you receive an information, your plug receive information, like a light.
The SHP13 was initially added as "Push On" button. I changed that to On/Off.
I think the problem is from here, can you delete the widget in "device", and reload the plugin (hardware/deconz/update), the widget will be re-created. you need to have this one

The "push to on" is the same too from my memory, except the icon.

Else can you show me the device json ? Visible in log or in custom/deconz.

Thanks! Don't know the cause but simply deleting the switch and recreating it from settins/devices solved. Now it became a true switch which I can operate. See the images below.
Sometimes solutions are soo simple ;)
The energy monitoring is also shown (although I do not see the energy sensor in Phoscon. Not a big deal as all real monitoring is done in Domoticz. kWh meter was added too.
