Hi Slim,

experienced similar activity with only one Echo Dot.

> Hi, bought an Echo Dot for testing if it's useful for me and for doing a review with PiHole. Here is my quick review for the last 24h: queries/24h: ~1300! (even if it's "sleeping" or micro is turned off) There is no change in traffic/queries if Alexa gets voice input, which is really strange. Maybe some important queries are not routed through PiHole, is this possible? most queries/24h: device-metrics-us.amazon.com ~410 kindle-time.amazon.com ~300 spectrum.s3.amazonaws.com ~300 ntp-g7g…

Don‘t really know why Amazon needs this tons of requests.
