This was what I was expecting, so I guess Ill redo my HA and Alexa setup for option 2, I figured that was the better way to do it especially since I have entities not usually avail in Alexa (my garage door for some reason) so I can expose them that way.

Chrome, just because I use it on the desktop and like how it syncs like safari does. I still keep safari on my mac and my iphone but most of my usage is chrome now, I would switch back to Safari or even Firefox, but the extensions I use are only in chrome for my day to day work.
