He was talking to himself, not intentially to Alexa.

I don't think maqneh shelo midaas is a thing.

Assume as he woke he had full intent to sell just not knowledge it was shabbat. What if instead of alexa it was his non-Jewish assistant?
If an individual on Tuesday said to his loyal assistant, I want to sell my chametz and the assistant did everything, does that work? Is it shlichut?  
What if you wrote an email to your rabbi in February and had your computer automatically send it in march before pesach? Is it shlichut of a mechanical type?
