How can I connect Alexa to operate somfy rts blinds?

I have Alexa as well and it's a questioned that I asked late last year to the manufacturer. This version does not support Alexa. Later this year they will have one with the bridge for Alexa. This current generation might be able to get hooked up with an external bridge when that time comes. So no Alexa for now. If it happens earlier I will email you and let you know.

will this also work with somfy controlled Sunsetter powered outdoor awings?

How do I setup Sunsetter awnings with Alexa

Does it work even it you are out of town and try manually lowering them?

You can control it remotely via Alexa integration

will this work when i'm not at home thru somfy app? using my verizon phone.

Yes, you can control your blinds from anywhere with an internet connection. I was able to control my blinds in Michigan from Florida. How did I know it worked? I used a security camera view while controlling the blinds from an app on my iPad. I also have the blinds set to operate on schedule from an Alexa routine.
