I'm trying to get my head around using custom url's etc with launcher apps to create a neat widget for certain things, if this is possible.

So for example, I want to create a widget to turn on a smart plug. The smart plug can be controlled using either the TP Link Kasa app or my Amazon Alexa app. I couldn't find anything about url's for Kasa, so focused on the alexa app. I found that if I type 'alexa://' in the url, I now have a widget that will open the Alexa app (so the same as just clicking on the app icon itself). Is there a way that I can add to that url to take me to the device called 'The Lamp' which is in the 'Smart Home' section of the Alexa app?
