First of all, +1 for the way you ask your question.

> however they don’t seem to be supported by Homey? ([Zemismart Tuya Zigbee Motor for 25mm Tube Built-in Battery Smart Life Alexa Google Home Control](https://www.zemismart.com/products/zemismart-tuya-zigbee-motor-for-25mm-tube-built-in-battery-smart-life-alexa-google-home-control))

Here the [tuya zigbee app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-tuya-zigbee-app/26439) is what you need.

A curtain motor is on the to-be-added list,

… and if you follow the instructions of how to request a new device, chances of getting it supported are high. Maybe it is the same as the ‘a curtain motor’ on the list.  
To find out, you’ll have to pair your motor as common zigbee device, and Interview it @ the zigbee section of [developer.athom.com](http://developer.athom.com).

The dev is very active.

Hope this info is of any use  
Cheers,  
Peter
