Not sure, but with a smart socket I can select what device “it should act like”; maybe there’s a similar setting for Ecodim? > ![Screenshot_20220914-004138_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/f/9faf12f8440a7a19af2cc7c20d0198918e4fb4f8.jpeg) . > ![Screenshot_20220914-004119_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/f/df903cfa26e89d92e5cb4485a1f7b5f3815f20e8.jpeg) ---

My Idinio (wall built in) dimmer (seems the same as Ecodim, uses another app though) don’t have this option too. It does identify as a lamp apparently though, as it is switched on or off when I use the action card “turn on/off all lights”. Perhaps @BIRDY can ask the developer for a change in how the dimmer identifies or ask to build in the option as mentioned by @Peter_Kawa? See the contact link on bottom of the Homey app page. Edit: just a long shot; but I suppose it does not help to change the device’s icon to a lamp? Most likely not, as it is just the icon that is changed, but it’s an easy try… ---

When you search for your ecodim at the [developer site](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices) What does it say at “`Class`”? > ![Screenshot from 2022-09-14 13-00-02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/f/4f018679423785abbc0537279b619296f1848f45.png) As you can see, there is a Virtual Class, and the Ecodim developer should set it to ‘light’ I think. (If it can’t be set via device settings like I showed earlier) Which model is it exactly, @BIRDY ? Because the code is on github, and this one’s `"Class"` = light: ![Screenshot from 2022-09-14 13-08-56](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/2/f239e2627330a46f63af3a8d6e94e33e5086d5f2.png) . > [@Henk\_Renting](#): > > It does identify as a lamp apparently though What does it say at “`Class`”, Henk, on the developer page?

I have 2 Ecodim devices, “dimmers” and both are seen as Class “Light”. ---

Hey guys how can know what kind of class my ecodim’s are? I dont know why, but when I use the homey flow card. Turn of all “lights” all the ecodim controlled lights remain on. All other lights turn off. Any tip on this or is this just a matter of flow error? ---

Just reading topics opens up a world of information… It says how you can discover your Ecodim’s class… > [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > When you search for your ecodim at the [developer site](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices) > What does it say at “`Class`”? > > > ![Screenshot from 2022-09-14 13-00-02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/f/4f018679423785abbc0537279b619296f1848f45.png) > > As you can see, there is a Virtual Class, and the Ecodim developer should set it to ‘light’ I think. > (If it can’t be set via device settings like I showed earlier) ---
