I already use this (mentioned at the end of your link)
to let alexa talk when the washing machine is finished.
I’m not sure but I think this component will not work in the other direction. So I don’t think that I can ask Alexa something. I think with this you can only let it tell you something.

I did’nt try your code yet, because I never liked to tell alexa which skill should be opened. I just want to talk to alexa without thinking about what skill I need. I mostly don’t use this.
So instead of saying “Alexa ask Home Assistant about the windows”, I’d like to have it without asking Home Assistant.
So only “Alexa, are all my windows closed”.
As long this is not possible, it’s not worth to implement this. I could remember so say the “home assistant”, but everyone else in the house will forget it some days later.
