Turn on a device by automatically detecting its type.
Works with switches, lights, covers, and RGB devices. For covers,
this opens them. For switches/lights/RGB, this turns them on.
By default, turns on all controllable components on the device.
Use –id to target a specific component (e.g., for multi-switch devices).
