In the USA, Alexa has added a
Routine feature.
(Only works with Alexa app, not on Windows [online Alexa] yet).

Here's the Routine that I'm working on for the RAV4 garage door.
The Since ON puts out a '1' and OFF puts out a '0', I have to use
inverted logic.
I want to hold the NO relay2 contact closed for about 1.5 seconds. So, I say "Echo, Open Carport".
Routine will turn ON the relay with 'Turn Off relay2', run a time-waste: Alexa says "Farewell", then opens the NO relay with 'Turn on relay2'.
I can change what Alexa says, for a longer delay if needed.
Anyways, I discovered that it's easy to change the
(Simulated Wemo switches) switch mode (off/on) while adding that operation to the Routine.
One other thing I really like, if I make a mistake and the
Actions are not in the correct order, I can just hold-click and drag them where I want them..
