Echo devicecs are port scanning?
Starting yesterday all of my Amazon Echo devices have started triggering alerts that read: "Security Alarm Device XYZ Echo is scanning ports on device Firewalla."
I have disabled the Amazon Sidewalk service in the Alexa app which is supposed to apply to all devices on the account.
Any ideas what this new activity is and suggestions for quashing it (or if it's innocuous how to best stop the alerts)?

No updates to the Echo devices that I'm aware of. The only network change was that I had to cut power to my Firewalla and main router yesterday (on the same circuit as a light switch I was replacing). After power was restored I started seeing the errors. I'll try restarting the Firewalla again if no-one else is seeing this kind of behavior from their Echo devices.
