Dummy switch not discovered #40

I'm a n00b so I apologize if this is too simple of a request. I've created a dummy switch which appears in homekit but doesn't get discovered by Alexa - is there some magic that I'm missing?

Getting the switch into HomeKit doesn't make it accessible by Alexa. However it should be accessible by Apple's ow voice assistant Siri.

I think you need another Alexa plugin to make them accessible by Alexa Hope. Found this when searching for keyword "Alexa" - "Homebridge Alexa" https://github.com/NorthernMan54/homebridge-alexa#readme
