I did try the Alexa skill but it wasn't approved for the Uk market at the time, trying use the workarounds were so painful, and unsuccessful.
And the ability to turn on a device with the least number of words spoken is a benefit of decoupling the verbal interpretation from HomeSeer, or whatever smart system one might be using.
I may not have bothered with Alexa for home control without something like ha-bridge to 'bridge' the technologies. 'Turn on the mirror' is better than 'tell homeseer to turn on the mirror in the bathroom'. Even better would be just to state the words 'mirror', or 'chandelier', or 'ceiling', without the 'turn on/off' commands, and the light would just toggle.
