HS100 & Alexa, treating it as a Light instead of a Smart Plug
Model :
Hardware Version :

I've got the HS100 set up with Alexa and it works great. I can say "Alexa, turn on floor lamp" and it works perfectly.
What I'd like is to be able to say "Alexa, turn off all lights" and the HS100 floor lamp turns off too. My smart bulbs will all turn off with that command because inside the Alexa app, they're considered light bulbs. The HS100, on the other hand, is considered to be a smart plug and so it doesn't respond to a command referring to the lights.
I can create a scene called "living room" and say "Alexa, turn off living room" and it'll turn off both my lights and the smart plug, but I can't simply do "turn off all lights" and get it to trigger the smart plug.
Anyway, is there a way within the Alexa app to change the device type from Smart Plug to Light for the HS100? If I could do that, it would simplify things and allow the HS100 with a light plugged into it to act like a light and not a floor lamp. How do I change the device type of the HS100 in Alexa?
