I know this isn't exactly the response you were looking for but there are decora style hue switches. Technically they are remotes but you can hardwire your lights to always be on and install the remotes as decora switches. My current system consists of 27 hue bulbs controlled by 12 of these remotes/switches and it works great. Links and documentation below.

Remotes

Wallplate Brackets



Documentation:

  1. Unpackaged the Lutron remote

  2. Put the remote within 4 inches of your Hue Hub

  3. Open the Hue app and go to Settings -> Accessory Setup -> Click the + Button in the bottom right corner -> Hue dimmer Switch -> Option 1 -> LED blinking

  4. Next, while the app shows as searching, press and hold the top "On" button on the Lutron remote

  5. After about 10 seconds or so, you'll see the green LED on the remote start flashing rapidly. Keep holding until the light turns off

  6. The remote is now paired with the bridge and you can exit out of the Hue app (It'll still be saying searching…)

  7. Now you can proceed with pairing the remote as the instructions say

  8. Simply go next to the Hue bulb that you want to control with the remote and hold down that top "On" button on the remote

  9. The Hue bulb will flash three times and then grow dim or turn off

  10. You should now be able to control the bulb with both the remote and the Hue app!

  11. If you want to pair any other bulbs, perform the same steps with the next bulb

I’m in the exact same boat.

There must be a web alternative to create a virtual “device” that’s discoverable by Alexa.

That way you could create as many devices as you’d like in order to use Ifttt’s awesome services.

In the meantime, I have an alternative but it’s kind of bizarre and I’m sure not the most savvy way to accomplish this.

I happen to have a few Wifi Switches laying around and they are acting as my go between for devices to trigger other Ifttt.

So I’ll create an Alexa routine that does whatever right away and then in addition will turn on one of those WiFi switches. That “turning on” can also act as a trigger in Ifttt for whatever I want.

Alas, Stringify was a much better middle man. But this does work! Albeit, a frustrating workaround.
