Optional Device UI Representation

I tend to think about the load I'm controlling rather than the device itself, and I think it would be super to be able to designate the load type within the Indigo UI. For example, I have some in-wall relay switches (in my case, Leviton VRS15-1LZ) which are used to control lighting loads. It would be great to have an option to specify that they appear as lights within the UI. Maybe a dropdown to select which icon to use with a relay as the default?

My thinking is that this would only affect the UI icon and not they way the device functions. This would allow both paradigms--device focus or load focus.
