There’s another option if you use Node Red. I’m using a palette called node-red-contrib-alexa-smart-home
Basically, there is a skill that you enable in Alexa, you create devices through the skills website https://red.cb-net.co.uk/ that show up in Alexa, then you link the nodes for those devices to Home Assistant.
This is an on/off switch
