"Siri, close [app name]" "Siri, open Google Maps and show a route to [location]"

"Hey Siri" on the Mac would be good. So would more interaction between devices - so I could set up an alarm on one particular device from any other device.

Cloud things are still clumsy from that POV. A lot more could be integrated.

My biggest (minor) annoyance is not being able to toggle switches.

I can say "Alexa, lights on" and "Alexa, lights off".

But I can't just say "Alexa, lights" and have the app read the current state and flip it - which is annoying because it would be efficient and useful, but also because it's so close, and yet so far, from living in a Star Trek TNG episode.
