Custom commands with Alexa

Hey,

I have a Alexa at home and when I add new entities there are exposed to Alexa and I can use them. The problem is, that the name of an entity is not always intuitiv. Example: Alexa turn on the light Ground floor dining room left corner.

Can I use a friendly name for this?

But I want also use specified commands like “Alexa I want to watch TV”. This should trigger a automization or a node-red flow. Is this possible and how? I know it is possible with Alexa Custom Skills, but I want to make it without a amazon dev acc etc.

The command can also be “Alexa turn on the tv” and this triggers the automatization. I best case I will get a response. Like “Alexa what is the temperature in the kitchen” and Alexa will say the averange temperature of all sensors through the automatization/node-red flow.

so long…
