Adding 3rd-party devices, or automating non-devices

Hi. I have phillips hue lights (officially supported), and Tuya/Smart-Life sockets (3rd-party). I configured the latter with this in my configuration:

tuya:
  username: "my_username"
  password: !secret smart_life_password
  country_code: "1"
  platform: "smart_life"

Only the Hue lights show up as devices (ie configuration -> Devices, and); the switches show on the main page and work, but are not available for automations, as they’re not registered as devices in the system. How would you fix this? Ie turn them into devices, or automate them without doing so? They are registering as entitys.
