Mirror app doesn't see Picos?

I've started replacing some rules with more dedicated apps like Room Lighting and Mirror.

I have a set of Button Controller rules that map a Pico to a Zooz on/off switch.

Button 1 pressed -> Button 1 pressed
Button 2 held -> Button 1 held
Etc...

I thought this would be a good use of Mirror. But when I create a new mirror I don't see the Pico in the device list.

Pico remotes are "Button Controllers", which do not persist any state. This differs from a Switch or Dimmer devices, which has state values such a "switch: on or off" and "level: 0-100".

Since the Mirror apps simply mirrors that status of one device to another device, it cannot be used with a Button Controller device.

I personally use the Advanced Button Controller (ABC) community app with all of my Pico remotes. It works great and is easy to configure and use to control a variety of devices.
