Amazon echo skill virtual buttons

Hello, I was adding some new triggers to my system and rather than virtual switches, I decided to try virtual buttons. They will not get discovered in alexa. Is this expected behavior? If yes, can I make a feature request to support virtual buttons in the alexa skill? I preferred buttons as I do not have to turn it off later, unlike a switch.

IIRC, If you look at the user preferences section of the Hubitat virtual switch device, you should see an option to have the switch turn itself off automagically.

Where would that be please? All I see is "Turn on Indicator" and "Paddle Function"

You've not chosen the "Virtual Switch" driver. Sounds like you chose a Z-Wave switch driver. Always use the "Virtual ..." drivers for truly virtual devices. They are designed with special features that apply to virtual devices.
