Create a virtual Dimmer or light template for Alexa

I have created lots of automation’s via the Alexa routines feature, which then switches input boolean components in HA to action the request. This is getting cumbersome using one input boolean for each routine. I would like to create a virtual dimmer in HA then expose this entity to Alexa. This would give me a 100 different responses via the dimmer, using just one entity, is this possible?

The custom Alexa media player now allows you send commands to Alexa via text so you could simply get HA to action your zigbee lights and switches by just asking Alexa to do it
