Can’t set my Hue bulbs that I have paired with MQTT to the correct type. They show up in the DIYhue page as LWB010 when they are 2x LWA008 and 1x LTA010. So I figured I could set them correctly in the app but it doesn’t seem to have those options. Any Ideas?

so for the LTA010 use LTW001 and for the LWA008 use LWB010

Those model IDs are the supported equivalents for MQTT-discovered lights: use LWB010 for the LWA008 bulbs and LTW001 for the LTA010. You won’t set their exact Hue model IDs in the app.
