The Aqara FP1e presence sensor just released and it makes Alexa pointless. However...
It works with Alexa to start routines if you want it to, and this opens you up to stop using your voice altogether, AND it works with Apple Homekit and Home Assistant.
This video is sponsored by Aqara, all opinions are my own.
Presence sensors vs motion sensors is an easy one, motion sensors are waiting for motion, this presence sensor uses radar to check you are still there, so even if you're still the lights don't go out.
