Why is the ESPBell (un)locking entity a 'switch' and not a 'lock' ?

[jpbaril]

Not a problem per se, but I was curious as to why the (un)locking entity was a 'switch' component and not a 'lock' one?
I was going to try this below where I adjusted it to be a lock.

lock:
  - platform: gpio
    pin: 5
    id: Lock
    name: "Lock"
    icon: "mdi:door-closed-lock"
    restore_mode: ALWAYS_OFF
    on_unlock:
    - delay: 1000ms 
    - lock.lock: Lock

But am I wrong to think I would also have to set 'restore_mode' to 'ALWAYS_ON' since I think the default (and 'true') state of a lock is "locked" ?

Thanks

BTW, I LOVE my ESPBell-lite ! Such a good life improvement!

I can't remember why :)

I think there is no difference. It is lock or switch, it needs to be "ALWAYS_OFF".

When I do the next production batch, I will test and update the lock entity.

Thank you!!

Added example for lock entity in the instruction

switch:
  - platform: gpio
    pin: 5
    id: lock_relay
    restore_mode: ALWAYS_OFF

  - platform: gpio
    pin: 2
    id: led_switch
    inverted: true
    restore_mode: ALWAYS_OFF

  - platform: restart
    name: ${name} restart

lock:
  - platform: template
    name: ${name} Lock
    id: ent_lock
    icon: "mdi:lock"
    optimistic: true
    on_unlock:
      - switch.turn_on: led_switch
      - switch.turn_on: lock_relay
      - delay: 1.5s                    # Change opening time here
      - switch.turn_off: lock_relay
      - switch.turn_off: led_switch
      - lock.lock: ent_lock

With that code I get two issues:

1. The lock action button label is now showing "Verrouiller" (Lock) instead of "Déverrouiller" (Unlock).
   EDIT: After a first click on the button it now shows "Déverrouiller" (Unlock) as it should.
   
2. All entities now have the device name duplicated. Eg.:

1. It is until you click it once, the reason is "optimistic: true"
2. Delete this part ${name}

lock:
  - platform: template
    name: Lock
