Hi Andy,

EDIT:  
Maybe it is not an issue, while `blinds`, `curtains` and `sunshade` are valid classes as well. It depends on the possibilities of the device:  
[https://apps.developer.homey.app/the-basics/devices/best-practices/window-coverings](https://apps.developer.homey.app/the-basics/devices/best-practices/window-coverings)

**Original post** :  
Is it possible to set the curtain motor class by default to `windowcoverings` instead of `blinds`?  
Usually we can select a virtual class at “what’s plugged in” when the device class is `windowcoverings`.  
(I’m aware of a possible breaking change)

Common curtains setting:

Tuya Local curtains (no “plugged in” section):

Background:  
While I wanted to replace a Tuya cloud based curtain device with the Tuya Local version of that device in related flows, using the [Flow Converter app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-flow-converter/154906), it responded with “class mismatch”.  
This can be overridden and it succeeded, but it will leave regular users puzzled I guessume.
