Anyways, as I said, this is EXACTLY what I wanted, i.e.
1) Define an event in HS
2) In the event enter something for "Voice Command" so it shows up as a scene in Alexa
3) Go to the Alexa app on your mobile device, in the menu select Smart Home, go to the tab Scenes, click on the + sign to scan for new scenes. The scene you created in 2) should now show up.
4) Go to the menu and select Routines. Click on the + sign to add a new routine. Click on the + sign next to "When this happens". Enter the sentence you want to use after Alex, e.g. "Movie Time" to activate with "Alexa, Movie Time" (don't use something very common or Alexa might be confused. For Dinner Time it asked me if I wanted to hear the song Dinner Time). Then click on the + sign next to "Add action". Go to Smart Home, Control scene and select your HS event...

Just in case, I am adding some screenshots. HSEvent.gif is the event I set up in HS. I know the event name and voice command don't match/make sense but I purposely did it to show what part is used where. The "Dinner Time" will only be used within HS. It does not go to Alexa. The "Go To Work" will be in Alexa.
"scene.jpg" is what I see in the Alexa App->Menu->Smart Home->Scenes->Discover Scenes. As you see, here you now wee the Go To Work event.
"routine.jpg" shows how I am using that scene in a routine (Alexa App->Menu->Routines". So when I say "Alexa, kitchen sink" it will trigger the Alexa scene Go To Work which is my HS event Dinner Time.Last edited by mulu; July 22, 2018, 12:17 PM.
