Hard buttons can only be attached to lights

[surfmk]

Problem:
Hard buttons in detach mode can only be attached to lights.

Ideally:
Hard buttons should be able to trigger switches or buttons (not just lights).

Workaround:
If you want a workaround, create a dummy light in HA using code below. This 'light' exposes itself in NSPM interface, and can be assigned to the hardware button, so the dummy light is switched on and off. In HA 'automations', you can create an automation that listens to this dummy light to trigger any other action... in this case, you can set a scene of your choosing. All done without much HA knowledge so give it a whirl! (it works).

Thank you for opening a separate issue on this.

Maybe it would be a good idea to also expose NSPanel buttons directly to Home Assistant as button or binary_sensor entities.
I think this would be the most flexible solution for automations.
