How to setup a Matter device with Amazon Echo for Alexa voice control

Smart home devices can often feel about as far from smart as you can get. Different devices from different manufacturers use different protocols, require their own proprietary smart home hubs, or just plain fail to talk to one another. If all of your devices are from the same manufacturer, then everything is fine, but as soon as you start to mix and match, things can start to get tricky. Even worse, if you decide to switch from one smart home ecosystem to another, you may find you can no longer control some of your smart home devices.
