'Random' lights turning on
-
Bizarre! … but good catch.
I’m a Siri user, myself. How do you link Alexa to openLuup? My link to Siri is via HomeKit (of course) for Hue and Shelly devices.

Very bizarre, but I'm not going to troubleshoot Alexa!
I had to actually think about the answer to the next bit. One of the things that worries me about my system and its integrations, it mostly just worked, and I forget how!
Anyway: HA bridge. So several virtual devices that emulate Philips Hue devices. Alexa can see those natively, and HA bridge just makes an http call.
I think the same set up would work with Siri, but have never checked, although I;m an Apple user, I standardised on Alexa

This way madness lies! I spoke too soon.
If I speak to another Alexa device and say 'Living room lights on', all the lights in the living room come on correctly. (And the drive lights stay off)
If I say to the Alexa device in the living room 'Turn the lights on' all the lights go on including the drive lights even though they are disabled in the app!
Insanity.
Appears to be fixed by adding the Drive lights to the Living room area, saving, then deleting them. We shall see!

And we did. And it worked once, then reverted. Bloody Amazon!

...and then she laughed, and Jeff Bezos laughed, and Steve Jobs laughed

In Alexa there is an option that it 'learns' from 'your behavior'. When I turned that off and removed the rules it created for that 'feature' this spook behavior stopped. I would look into the rules on your Alexa, you may find some you do not remember creating.

Ooooh ta. Any pointers as to where they are in the app?

You had to ask
Have a look here https://www.amazonforum.com/s/question/0D56Q0000BafbkqSQA/alexa-created-routine-on-its-own

You are a gent sir, but I have no routines other than the single one I made (which works fine and has nothing to do with the the drive lights)
Very odd. I can delete the instance from HA bridge (or send it to a duff device ID for testing I guess)

Have you asked the wife? Mine likes to randomly turn lights on (never off!) just to get me confused
