Big thanks to @cwwilson08 for motivating me to work on the port which ended up running great on Hubitat 
Current Features:
- Creates virtual Echo Devices for every physical device.
- Make Alexa announcements based on any Hubitat event.
- Play music/sounds based on an event (eg, when someone arrives)
- Trigger weather/traffic reports, jokes, fun facts, sing songs, stories, get calendar events,
- Create Alarms or Reminders based on any Hubitat event
- Many other Alexa features.
- There is ~50 custom commands available
Notice:
Apps like Rule Machine/WebCoRE are currently the only apps to be able to fully utilize the more advanced features like music searching and creating Alarms/timers.
