Missing Feature: no capability for curtain control

[alexiade]

I have a pair of motorized curtains that run with commands Open,Close and Stop but there seems to be no matching skill to expose them to alexa. Right now I have no other option than to use TurnOn and TurnOff combined with Stop from playback... but its a bit weird to turn off curtains...

So Im wondering if there could be a way to extend the default skill protocol to support curtains too?

(also, there seems to be a bug with routines containing smart home integrated devices - for every smart home instruction alexa just says "Sorry, what dev...", and that's it. running the same routine from the app works just fine, but alexa invocation is not working)

I have to work around with light via brightness control to support curtain, so ugly.

Completely agree, not having open/close is a big gap. Curtains, blinds, patio shades, even my motorized pool umbrellas. I know that I can make my own skill, which I have, but what I have in my home right now is 4 different apps (3 manufacturers and my own) just to issue various open/close commands.
