Possible for Indigo to tell Alexa to speak a phrase?

Is there a way to get Indigo to make Alexa speak a phrase? For example, setting up a trigger to have Alexa say "Somebody is in the back yard" if an Insteon motion sensor detects motion, or having a schedule check a garage door sensor at night and then getting Alexa to say "Your garage door is open".

There's no current way to tell Alexa to do anything unfortunately. I'd love to be able to use them as extra speakers around the house!

I'm not sure this is possible at all. The last time I looked at the Alexa API I didn't see any way to push activity to the device.
