I've had good luck with TPLink switches. They do NOT have a three-way switch, so if you need to control one of those, you're out of luck. But both their switched plug and their Smart WiFi Switch work well with Alexa. You need to have a smart phone to install their app for initial setup, and the steps are not what you might expect, but if you follow the prompts and don't try to jump ahead because you think you're smarter than they are (don't ask me how I know), then they work well and you won't need the app again unless you want to control them outside of Alexa range.
