HA Combined Device

Hi Joe,
Is it possible to create a single device in Indigo with all states available in HA. Example being a switch controlling a light. Ideally I'd like to see:
Switch state
Energy
Power
At present as I see it, if I want to bring these in to Indigo it would mean 3 separate devices rather than the single device that Indigo would create if it was fully supported.
Maybe I'm missing something in the set up??

The plugin can only map a single HA "entity" to an Indigo device. I'm assuming that the light is actually represented as multiple entities in HA?

Yes the light has multiple entities.

There's no way to definitely determine which entities belong to the same physical device. HomeAssistant uses a very naive naming scheme for entities, which guarantees uniqueness but does not uniquely identify the device the entity is associated with.

Is there a workaround, existing or not, where those entities could be combined into one Indigo device? For me it’s so much easier to see all under the one hood.

For clarity, I’m thinking on the Indigo side. Create individual devices from HA representing each entity and then have a single device with all properties as required.

Not that I can think of. Maybe someone else will have an idea.
