Specifics of use

In the Yango Play app, the user can change the device type from devices.types.switch to devices.types.light . This will enable voice commands for light. Example: the switch is used to control a chandelier.
If the switch consists of several buttons, we recommend describing each switch button as a separate devices.types.switch device.
