Yea no worries, guess I’ve been around for a minute!
That’s so weird that the old methods aren’t documented anymore; anyways, dug around in my old home git server and found an old alexa config, hope this helps.
Gonna take some work to get this integrated again, but here’s what I found.
in your configuration.yaml I had the following defined:
# Alexa
alexa:
# Include Folders
# alexa: !include_dir_merge_list alexa
in the folder alexa I had the following file:
# Alexa
# Locate Intent
LocateIntent:
speech:
type: plaintext
text: >
{% if is_state('device_tracker.jon_iphone', 'home') %}
He's at home.
{% else %}
He's not home.
{% endif %}
# Temperature Sensors
LivingroomTemp:

The livingroom temperature is {{ states.sensor.livingroom_temperature.state|round }} degrees, but it feels like {{ states.sensor.livingroom_heatindex.state|round }}.
OfficeTemp:

type: plaintext
text: >
The office temperature is {{ states.sensor.office_temperature.state|round }} degrees, but it feels like {{ states.sensor.office_heatindex.state|round }}.
BedroomTemp:

text: >
The bedroom temperature is {{ states.sensor.bedroom_temperature.state|round }} degrees, but it feels like {{ states.sensor.bedroom_heatindex.state|round }}.

{% if is_state('switch.front_dooropened', 'on') %}
The front door is open.
{% elif is_state('switch.patio_dooropened', 'on') %}
The patio door is open.
{% elif is_state('switch.motionsensor', 'on') %}
Motion detected in the living room.
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_sensor_4_0', 'on') %}
Motion detected on the patio.
{% elif is_state('switch.front_dooropened', 'off') and
is_state('switch.patio_dooropened', 'off') and
is_state('switch.motionsensor', 'off') and
is_state('binary_sensor.aeotec_zw100_multisensor_6_sensor_4_0', 'off') %}
The house is secure.

Currently it's {{ states.sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature.state | round(0) }} degrees, and {{ states.sensor.dark_sky_minutely_summary.state }}. Later, you should expect {{ states.sensor.dark_sky_hourly_summary.state }}.

{% if states('sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature') | float < 45 %}
Yes you do, it's currently {{ states.sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature.state | round(0) }} degrees.
{% elif states('sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature') | float > 50 %}
Maybe, it's currently {{ states.sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature.state | round(0) }} degrees.
{% elif states('sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature') | float > 60 %}
No, you should be good, it's currently {{ states.sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature.state | round(0) }} degrees.
{% endif %}
Obviously there’s some custom stuff in there, but hopefully ya get the idea.
Couldn’t for the life of me remember the amazon AWS side of things, you had to make a custom skill, and define all your intents, which linked to the intents above. Unless it’s been archived, I’d imagine you could probably search the forum for alexa intents and get closer. Best of luck!
