The first Alexa i bought was a Dot for my RV. Along with a usb battery I had already, it was nice to sit it on the picnic table for music. Also handy to ask it about the weather and news, without having to break out the phone.
I also have it setup to control various outdoor lights, two vent fans and the water pump.
where did u get the 12 v controllers for the fans and the pump and how were u able to wire the controllers into the fans and water pump
I assume u interrupt the main 12V power supplys to do so ?
Nothing off the shelf. Although China does have some WiFi controlled 12v relay modules that could be made to work without much trouble.
Here are a few modules I have made for automation:

The lights, except for awning are just on/off like you guess, interrupt the 12v supply... Same thing for the pump. The fans are speed controlled, so I can tell Alexa what percentage I want them running at. The awning I can tell Alexa a color, brightness, etc.
