shadow scaffold
First, none of the available tags seemed to apply to my situation so I chose New to HA - I'm not new to HA, I'm around two years in with a pretty robust ecosystem.
I'm previewing Alexa+, which has been fine up until the last 36 hours or so. My smart lights/switches/outlets are getting randomly toggled on and off. I ruled out Routines, ruled out Modes/Away Lighting, and ruled out hunches. I can't find indication in the Alexa app that these toggles are even happening, nothing showing in Activity (not surprised, history in there is woefully insufficient.
I enabled debug logging for cloud events and this is how these are coming over:
{'msgid': '686adbb7-d454-47d4-a18b-d42e5a0f192c',

'event': {'endpoint': {'cookie': {},

'name': 'Response',

'payload': {}}}}```
I realize this is probably not an issue on the HA side of things but I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this or seen it reported anywhere. I plan on filing a bug with the Alexa+ team as well.
Appreciate any thoughts/insight and apologies for the mis-tag!
