The other way which is far from ideal, would be to use the custom slot types in combination with a custom developer skill. That way you could set the Utterances as something like
"Tell Homeseer to {action} the {devicename}"
"Tell Homeseer to {action} the {roomname}{devicename}"
"Tell Homeseer to run the event {eventname}"
etc.
Since it would be a developer skill, the user could go it and add all their devices to the {devicename} custom slot. This would probably make it more accurate as Alexa would know what to expect the user to say.
Wouldn't really work too well as a published skill though as you would have to list Every concievable Room name and Device name. And each time a user requested a new one to be added, the skill would have to pass through certification again .
If the Linux script hook worked, then I would have a play around with this but I don't know if that is ever going to get fixed
