Automation use

[armandomartires]

I have an automation that would turn on the Tapo P100 switch in case the temperature is under 19ºC, but I can't seem to find a way to create an action that can use the P100.

I have the P100 as an Entity, but it does not exist as a Device, can I make create a device for it?
How?

I would also like to assign the P100 to an Area, but I can't seem to find how to do that.

Can you give me a hint on how to solve this?

have you tried to call the switch.turn_on service?

You can try it at:
http://192.168.x.x/developer-tools/service

Service: switch.turn_on
Entity: switch.your_switch_name

Or use it via the Call Service option in the automation UI.

Can confirm that switch.turn_on works perfectly, also #2 should solve the issue about "unnamed switches"
