Alexa to control zwave devices

Good evening, all,

I just installed, connected and renamed (somehow…not sure how yet but hey it happened) my first z-wave dimmer switch. I can control it via the HA front end. What I’d like to do now is be able to control it through Alexa.
Basically, what I’d like to do is be able to tell Alexa it’s time for dinner and have it turn on the zwave device. Optimally, I’d like to be able to vocally control the level of light as well, but being able to turn it on and off via my voice is a good first step.

Should I use an emulated hue situation or use the alexa component? Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks all!
