There is no need to do the integration with Alexa using AWS and skills, instead:
I can use emulated hue to expose entities to Alexa
`[tawfik@NAS12D952 config]$ cat emulated_hue.yaml
host_ip: 192.168.1.14 # Replace with your Home Assistant IP address
listen_port: 80
expose_by_default: false
exposed_domains:

-# Master Dressing Lights switch.sonoff_100157c1f6_1: name: "Master Spot 1" hidden: false switch.sonoff_100157c1f6_2: name: "Master Spot 2" hidden: false`
additionally, i can create groups to make Alexa control multiple grouped devices (nested groups will also work)
`[tawfik@NAS12D952 config]$ cat groups.yaml living_lights: name: Living Lights entities:
living_room_lights: name: Living Room Lights entities:
living_room_spots: name: Living Room Spots entities:
additionally, I can set Alexa to change status of a virtual switch that will accordingly trigger an automations
