You will need to select the device, then the property from the tree view after you have selected the conditional part of the task. The property you want is PowerState (or whatever gives the on/off status of the switch). You can execute based upon whether "Off" or "On" is the state. The other option is to set the condition to not equal something the property value will never be (i.e., if property value <> "buggabugga") and then have executable statements. If this is done, the statements will execute whenever the device changes state (i.e., they will execute when the switch is turned off AND on).
