for example. "Alexa, tell homey to turn off the lights in the kitchen"
turning on power socket
Invoke harmony activity
Set hue scene
Lower screen
Turn off other non hue lights
to me the big advantage of homey is that it can control devices from multiple protocols in a single timed flow. Alexa cannot do that neither can IFTTT.

Many thanks ..
Will try this but it would be a lot easier and more natural have the interface to be able to handle
"Alexa tell homey to do 'flow name'
this is similar to the IFTTT interface

the IFTTT interface supports this and is probably one of the more reliable homey app interfaces
