Special thanks to @luisiam for cmdswitch2. It's great. This is 95% that plugin, but I met a friend who wanted certain "switches" to appear as different types of accessories.
What this plugin does
This plugin works much like [homebridge-cmdswitch2], it allows you to run Command Line Interface (CLI) commands via HomeKit. This means you can run a simple commands such as ping, shutdown, or wakeonlan just by telling Siri to do so. An example usage for this plugin would be to turn on your PS4 or HTPC, check if it’s on, and even shut it down when finished.
This plugin also adds a type property for the config.json to support a few different HAP types. At this time, the following types are supports:
Switch
Lightbulb
Outlet
LockMechanism
How this plugin works
on_cmd: This is the command issued when the accessory is set to "ON" (or Locked, etc).
off_cmd: This is the command issued when the accessory is turned OFF (or Unlocked, etc).
state_cmd: This is the command issued when HomeBridge checks the state of the accessory.
If there is no error, HomeBridge is notified that the accessory is ON (or Locked, etc).
If there is an error, HomeBridge is notified that the accessory is OFF (or Unlocked, etc).
Things to know about this plugin
This plugin can only run CLI commands the same as you typing them yourself. In order to test if your on_cmd, off_cmd, or state_cmd are valid commands you need to run them from your CLI. Please keep in mind you will want to run these commands from the same user that runs (or owns) the HomeBridge service if different than your root user.
Installation

*Changing the switch name in config.json will create a new switch instead of renaming the existing one in HomeKit. It's strongly recommended that you rename the switch using a HomeKit app only.
