It looks like it is now possible to change the device type, has anyone tried this approach?

You should heed the advice from @futzle

Changing the device type effects more than just the ui (icons and buttons.)
There are a few cases where this is possible (i.e. changing from one sensor type to another, where the device API is the same for the different sensors).
But only the developer of the controlling device can tell you for sure … and in the case of Z-Wave devices … MCV is the developer for the controlling device (the Z-Wave controller).

If the device type is wrong … you need to report this to MCV and wait for them to fix it!
