Hello, I recently bought a Homey hub and was trying to switch over from Smartthings to Homey entirely. I have added my motorised curtains (Forest Shuttle) which work fine through the app. I am however trying to integrate them with Echo so that I can speak to open / close them. I have installed the Homey app on my Echo but it doesn’t seem to find the curtains whilst discovering devices. Would appreciate any help here. Secondly, I also bought an Aeotec wallmote thinking I could assign devices to buttons. But it doesn’t seem to give me that option on the Homey app at all - in the advanced section, it does want me to assign certain groups / nodes? but I can’t simply assign devices which seemed a bit odd to me. Thank you very much! ---

I have same issue with forest curtains. I can open/close from homey , but alexa can’t find this device and also there is no functionality in simple things , like open / close in homey. Did you find any way to be recognized by alexa? ---

Probably you need to create a Virtual device, that can be found by Alexa and that can control the curtains. ---

I will try … is there any tutorial “how to” for virtual devices? I am noobie in homey hub! I used to have fibaro hc2 and they had native support for these curtains. Thanks for your time… ---

There is a good Search function on this forum, try the magnifying glass in the upper right corner. Description: [Virtual devices?](https://community.homey.app/t/virtual-devices/27831) ---

Think you have to place the device in the favorit devices part (home screen, Favorit devices cog wheel)
