Is this possible for instances where devices can't work with Homeseer? I have some ideas on how to shimmy something up but wondering if there's an actual way for homeseer to tell alexa to turn on the lights to bridge the incompatibility gap.

You can use Node Red for this. Look at the Node Red subforum: https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/ho...tions/node-red

As an alternative to Node Red, you can also use the Android Tasker application (AutoVoice plugin) to trigger Alexa routines.
As to which is easier, that would depend on if you already have Node Red or if you have Tasker installed on a Android device.

Thanks guys. I definitely want to do this the best way possible and it looks like Node Red is going to be the way to go. I've got it set up but HomeSeer is so vast I can't decide what I want to tackle first! I've got a few Z-Wave devices set up and tons more ordered. Tinkered with Node Red a bit but it's going to take a good weekend (which I won't have for awhile) to get it going looks like. Thanks again!
