I'm in the process of creating a Raspberry Pi-powered home automation system. I have a complicated node.js script running on the Pi, and I want to be able to send commands from the Pi to my Alexa (e.g. turn on lights, say something, etc). I've looked into AVS (Amazon Voice Service) but I'd have to convert text to an audio command for that, and I was wondering if there's a simpler way. Does anybody have experience in this type of thing?

Your answer lies in going the IFTTT route to control your device.
You can then control it from Alexa as well as other sources of control such as your javascript file.
Here are some Alexa IFTTT integrations to get you started.
