maybe 'outlet' is a better type name for the plug things about miio HOT 3 CLOSED

That's a pretty good name. switch is used right now for both plugs, powerstrips and wall switches that all share the same functionality. It might make sense to split them into three types even though they all switch stuff on and off.

from miio.

The new types are going to be:

• power-switch, for generic switchable devices
• power-outlet, for devices that are wall-mounted outlets (none supported right now)
• power-plug, for power plugs (either the Smart Socket Plug or the Aqara Plug right now)
• power-strip, for devices that are power strips

All of them have the capability power-channel and support one or more power channels like before.They all behave like the old switch so hopefully it will be easy to support all of them.
