#Blueprint selector w/ filter for 'integration: matter' is excluding 'Show As' entities.

When using the 'Show as' feature to create a separate entity for a device that imports as a switch, the new entity that's created isn't identified as a being part of the same integration. I'm curious if that's by design or a potential issue.

I tested this with an Inovelli VTM30-SN On/Off Switch. I used the 'Show as' feature to create a light entity for the switch, however the light entity is not included in the filter when using the blueprint selector below.

Please ignore that the device is a fan not a light--I was just testing this for other users who had reported this issue with the blueprint.

      input:
        entity_light:
          name: Inovelli Switch Light
          description: The light entity for the Inovelli Switch
          default: []
          selector:
            entity:
              filter:
              - domain: light
                integration: matter

Yeah if I go to the Entities page and filter by the matter integration, the 'show as' entities aren't listed. It seems like they should be, but I could see it going both ways since this is somewhat of a grey area. I don't see a similar issue so I'll open one on git and see what the devs say. Thanks for taking a second look @floral jolt.

Actually, it looks like it has the integration label "Change device type of a switch" which seems pretty intentional.

The underlying switch is probably available. That might work.
