It is off, and it was. Amazon was trialing some new thing. They also like to randomly turn that BS back on. Alexa is just so untrustworthy. It’s constantly trying to hawk me crap I don’t need. “Alexa turn off the kitchen.” “Ok. By the way. You can order more coffee filters by saying ‘Alexa order more coffee fillers’. Would you like me to order more coffee filters?”

Notification came back like a bad penny. Had to go in and do 6 individual dimmers, of course it goes back to the top of the 14 pages every time. Doesn’t show what it’s set to in the list, have to go severals level deep. Hate dark patterns. UX designer should be ashamed.
