That’s very kind of you but let me investigate a bit first. I assume you installed the Homey-skill? I read here that it already works for switches: > [@Alexa control for Homey](https://community.homey.app/t/alexa-control-for-homey/810): > > Hi all, I’m a new Homey owner and hoping to predominatly use Alexa to control my Homey. After a few days of trial and error I’m finding that i cannot get my flows to work as i want. I’ve learnt that I need to use Virtual Devices to trigger the flows but the Virtual Devices that the Alexa app will recognise are very limited - I can only add a switch. An example of the issue I’m having is with my TV. I’ve created a Virtual Device (switch) and can use Alexa to turn my TV on or off without a prob… Switch is not a capability in Homey, so I guess he means an onoff-capability. It could very well be that the Homey-skill does not support all capabilities, but onoff should be the first to support. It could also be that it discovers only certain classes of devices, e.g. lights or sockets. Did you try it with those? And here I read that the language matters, of both Alexa’s and Homey’s: > [@Alexa skill in Australia?](https://community.homey.app/t/alexa-skill-in-australia/809/2): > > There is a Homey skill available now in Alexa if that’s what you mean. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-virtual-devices-virtual-devices-to-simulate-1-or-more-real-devices/1723)._
