Can not see any devices, did you add yourself to the input group and reboot?

Describe the issue
Hi all,
I am attempting to add libinput-gestures to my Fedora Atomic 40 image, which runs hyprland window manager.
My current approach is described at length here: wayblueorg/wayblue#42

Hoping somebody might have a solution :)
