My Home Black Alert Setup
Hardware
x2 Alexa Echo Dot (Bedroom, Living Room)
x1 Phillips Hue Bridge
x2 FLS-PP iP LED driver, Phillips Hue compatible (Kitchen, Bedroom)

x1 Sylvania LED strip upper builtin on FLS-PP driver (Living room)
x5 Phillips Hue A19 lights (Kitchen pendants, Living room lamp, Bedroom Lamps)
x3 Phillips Hue GU10 spots (Dining room, Living Room, Bedroom)
App setup and custom configs
Alexa(s): I changed the trigger word to "computer"
Alexa(s): I changed the Voice to "English United Kingdom"
Alexa: Added Phillips Hue Skill to connect to my Hue bridge
Alexa: Added * Black Alert Skill
Alexa: Black Alert: Each Hue Light is set to Blue/Purple
Alexa: Black Alter: Custom Exit string "computer cancel black alert" set up to stop the skill, and program lighting to previous settings.
* Black Alert Skill is a free download from the creator.

In conclusion: The download skills only generate the sound FX, not how you see the final setup. The lighting is done via manual inputs for each light + the color settings. The "cancel" command is manually set to cancel the skill and then manually set lights back to the previous state. The "English United Kingdom" voice in Alexa helps package it all together.
What Next? I would like to move everything to Home Assistant and use different sound bytes, flashing lighting FX, and sync videos on my screens. I have no ETA on this as it's not easy but stay tuned!
