Shelly device relays are added to Home Assistant by default as `switch` entities. A relay can be added as a `light` entity if **EXTERNAL CONSUMPTION TYPE** value in the WebUI of the device is set to `light`.

Consumption type and Output settings are two different sections in the UI

I think it is to show that it is under the output settings section (what I marked in yellow) but maybe it is confusing and we should remove it.

TBH I didn't notice this first (yellow) output settings 😅

But, yes I think we should remove this.

Which device and firmware did you use to check?
Perhaps the gui on the different devices is not the same. In the case my additional note is perhaps missleading.
I have Shelly Plus1/Shelly Plus1PM with firmware 1.7.1 and here it looks different:

I guess it is related to the specific device (Plus Plug S), I checked few devices with different firmware and they look like the picture you poste from 1.7.1.
I think we can still remove the "(Output settings)" so that we don't confuse users with the sub-menu of input/output settings.
