As @Sean-McG suggested, the Q&A Skill in Blueprints might be helpful. Here's a link to a thread.

I used [BluePrints](https://blueprints.amazon.co.uk/home) to create a Q&A skill called 'Give me a status report' then linked that in the flow below. I've arranged for various devices around my home to report their status to a database that is accessed from the flow and sent to the appropriate Alexa device. Here's an example of capturing feedback from Sonoff-S20 switches and writing the status to a dB.

Last week I connected a SonOff S26 mains switch to power my colour laser.  
As shown below I can utter various commands and ask for a status report.
