I'm also relatively satisfied with my Alexa/Harmony TV setup, and my Harmony isn't talking to my FireTV (I think it can, but I haven't seen the need yet.)

No. My Harmony Hub isn't interacting with my FireTV at all. But my Harmony has a FireTV "Activity" set up which powers on the television, makes sure it's set to the FireTV's HDMI input (as well as turning on my sound-system and controlling the volume). The Harmony Alexa skill just lets me use the Echo to choose/control my various Harmony Activities (FireTV, OTA TV, CableTV, Roku, DVD, etc...). Depending on the activity, the hub may control multiple devices directly (TV, Cable Box, Antenna rotor, Sound System, DVD), but when I'm watching something on my FireTV, the Hub is basically only controlling the TV and the sound-system (power + volume + inputs).
