esp-matter: light_switch example not working with HomeKit (CON-255)
Not sure if this is related to #94, but I get an error message in the Home app when using the light_switch example:
This accessory is not currently supported by the Home app.

Yes, Generic Switch is the old Zigbee Scene button renamed. It has the same ID – 0xF. Generic switch just sends events like ButtonDown, ButtonUp, Clicked, Double Clicked, Long Press, etc. Only a controller can understand these events. These events are used to trigger scripts in the controller.
Apple/Google/Amazon need to implement Generic Switch and attached routines because the Matter group has punted native scene support in to the future.
