Well that’s good you found a solution that works for you.
If you want HE to control one of the features, you could do it via the Alexa integration and a small bit of code on HE that makes a switch act like a contact or motion sensor. This can trigger an Alexa routine when your virtual “contact” closes.
Alexa routines now allow you to create custom actions. In other words, anything you would say to trigger a device can be initiated from a routine instead.
