Describe the bug

Another user on the HA forums indicated that "icon" works for them, but not "step_count". Neither work for me.
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/set-entity-icon-from-nodered/519755/4
See steps below.

To Reproduce

1. Create an "update config" node and select a sensor node.
2. Pass it a payload to do something simple, like change the icon to a light bulb ("icon": "mdi:lightbulb")
3. Confirm it works fine
4. Change to a number node instead of a sensor node.
5. Run it again and the icon will not change. (This issue also applies to changing other properties besides "icon", such as "step_value")

Expected behavior

It should be able to update attributes on any supported Home Assistant entity node type.
