My feedback

  1. Forcing a user to remember a skill name is counter-intuitive, bad experience and leads to low adoption rates.

    This is what I need as well. I want to be able to say "Alexa, fill the pond" and have a routine called "Fill the pond" that does "Perform 'Alexa, ask Netro to run zone 4 for 20 minutes'." I want to check my home weather station by having a routine "Check the weather" and it does "Perform 'Alexa, ask Ambient Weather for the outside conditions'." I don't want my wife to have to know about Netro or Ambient Weather.
