Can Alexa control my stairlift?

Hi friends! I have a neurological disorder and use a stairlift to get up and down the stairs in my house. I’m having a tough time figuring out how to get Alexa to control it. I bought the Bond bridge and was able to link the remote for the lift to it but wasn’t able to figure out how to get it to hold/long press the buttons. I emailed support and they replied with:

“The Bond Bridge does not support commands that would require a long press or a double tap. It can only mimic the commands that only require a single press or tap.

We also do not have any information if or when the Bond Bridge would support commands that that would require a long press or a double tap in the future.”

I’m still within the return window for the Bond - is there another bridge that has that option? Is there a workaround you can think of? Ideally I’d love to be able to tell Alexa to bring the lift up and down the stairs (which takes 53 seconds) when my hands aren’t working well and I can’t hold the button myself.

Thanks for your time!
