Arduino Cloud - Trigger an Alexa Routine

I have successfully created a Thing in the Arduino cloud using a Nano 33 IoT board and the Smart Home Property Type: Motion Sensor. Both the Dashboard on IoT Cloud and the Devices on my Alexa App can see the status of the motion detector connected to the Nano.
HOWEVER - I am unable to create a New Routine on the Alexa App that does anything with the Motion Sensor information. When I select "New Routine", then "When this happens" the menu is Voice, Schedule, Smart Home, Location, Alarms, Echo Button, or Guard. I select Smart Home, and expect to see my Arduino Motion Sensor, but the only option there is "Dallas Living Room, Echo Plus", which is the temperature in my living room.
Has anyone been able to trigger an Alexa Routine from a Motion Sensor connected to the Arduino Cloud?

Also wanting to do this! Haven't found anything so far.

Also want to do the same, but for Contact Sensor property.

I also cannot figure out a voice command that get's Alexa to tell me if the Contact Sensor is open or closed, even though I can see the status in the android app.

Also trying to do this - contact sensor. Hoping to use a button on the board to trigger the contact sensor closed in Arduino IOT cloud and then a routine from there in the Alexa cloud to play a specific playlist on an echo device. The contact sensor isn't listed in the alexa app create routine page, although my similar smart things virtual sensors are listed so thinking it must be an app limitation. Not sure who to request the feature from Amazon or Arduino?!
