***IN VIDEO PROBLEM FIXED*** I couldn't get the simulated buttons to work, and realized that Alexa and ActionTiles can't see simulated buttons, because it is a sensor rather than an actuating device. What you'll need to do is create a device using the MOMENTARY TILE device handler instead. Then, in webcore, create the pistons with the momentary tile is pushed instead. (sorry for the confusion)
Once you do that, you'll be able to see your new switches in Alexa app as well as ActionTiles. 😊
My cold must have been clouding my head too much. 😉
