We do a check of the flat to see if there are any such devices for similar reasons. Quite a few of US citizens are using Alexa devices and don’t even mention it, now we just switch them off after asking the HO. PS: It might also help to specifically ask for “smart” devices and Alexa in the future. There doesn’t seem to be enough awareness about how intrusive those devices are even when the HO never uses them to monitor sitters.
