[Matter] Apple Home cannot identify light_switch example

Question

Hi all, 
 I tested the matter light_bulb and light_switch samples. While the bulb is identified as a bulb, the switch shows as "unsupported". 
 Following Matter 1.0 standard, shouldn't it be identified as a switch? I did not do any changes to the code. 
 Light_Switch: 
 
 Light_Bulb: 
 
 Board: nrf52840-DK nrf Connect SDK v2.2.0-rc1 (also tried the files from latest commit on Github) Apple HomePod running OS 16.2

No worries, I just wanted to be sure I was on the same page as you 
 I think the following is what you need/want, but note that the control-flow is different than our samples as I described in my initial reply: "Here, the Generic Switch likely just reports switch state to Apple controller, which processes this information and controls the light bulb " 
 The method is based on the Matter light switch example in the upstream SDK: https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/tree/master/examples/light-switch-app/nrfconnect . The generic switch device type is supported there: https://github.com/project-chip/connectedhomeip/blob/master/examples/light-switch-app/light-switch-common/light-switch-app.zap#L7924 
 You may add a generic switch to endpoint 2 to the light switch sample (NCS v2.1.0) ( https://github.com/lats1980/fw-nrfconnect-nrf/commits/demo/matter-generic-switch ) The endpoint 2 will be recognized as a stateless programmable button with "Short Press" and "Long Press" actions. Then you can add "ACTION" to control the light bulb example to turn on/off: 
 
 In ZAP, set endpoint 2 as Matter Generic Switch as below: 
 
 Then change the FeatureMap to 14 to enable Single press&Long press (Check Switch cluster in spec for details of Feature Map ) 
 
 Please note that there are some ZAP issue in NCS 2.1.1/2.1.2, which are described in https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/known_issues.html#matter . An option is to use ZAP on v2.2.0 
 Let me know if this is of any help! 
 Kind regards, Andreas
