Either Ask Alexa via a Macro or Echosistant directly, can do it. It depends greatly which app, based on what other automation needs you might have in your home.
Ask Alexa
All, this is a new thread from my conversation in the Alexa Helper area ([RELEASE] Alexa Helper )
I am officially announcing my new Ask Alexa Smart App. This is what a lot of us have been looking for when it was announced that SmartThings would work with the Amazon Echo (‘Alexa’).

I attempted to fill the gap with Alexa Helper, and it did a great job at giving you additional control over items using simple on/off commands. I even got into the ‘feedback’ piece by sending a voice output to a Sonos speaker. But, I always felt this was a ‘hack’…why ask a speaker (Alexa) to report out on another speaker.
