It is possible using [virtual devices](https://homey.app/en-us/app/com.arjankranenburg.virtual/Virtual-Devices/).  
Create a virual device of a type that triggers the zone activity.  
You can set the virtual devices via a flow, triggering the zone activity

I integrated the door sensors of my alarm system into the zone activity rhis way.  
The sensors itself are not in homey but the alarm does interface to homey.  
When I get a status change from the alarm, I trigger a virtual sensor that triggers the zone activity.  
After 30sec a flow deactivates the virtual sensor again

Hope that works for you too
