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.

Amazon Alexa is a “colossal failure,” on pace to lose $10B this year

Echo makes for a simple family “phone” for kids before they’re old enough for their own mobile.
I also created a free skill for kids to hear the daily school lunch menu. Such a morning time saver! https://github.com/jeffsheets/alexa-papio-lunch-menu
But yeah it’s still mostly a hardware solution looking for a problem
Parents built a school app. Then the city called the cops

On a much smaller scale, a bad school app experience is the main reason why I built an Alexa app for anyone in our district to easily ask Alexa for the lunch menu daily https://github.com/jeffsheets/alexa-papio-lunch-menu/
Pretty common for school district apps to feel antiquated and hard to use. Definitely a disruptible space.
