You will need both the Homebridge Alexa and Homebridge Dummy Contact plugins. You need to setup the latter to create a dummy contact sensor and the former to pass the dummy contact's state to Alexa to trigger an Alexa routine. If I am not mistaken, only motion sensors and contact sensors can trigger Alexa routines.
