How Flexible is Alexa with HA Cloud? (Very is the answer)

[lonebaggie]

You have to have the WAF and keep it simple. I use a similar idea with a dummy bulb so I can have a hundred triggers (brightness levels) in my alexa routines

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 best ideas are the simplest
