Feeling incredibly stupid, but how do I turn the plug on and off in the Alexa app? I tried WeMo, I tried the name I gave it, I tried the generic term smart plug; Alexa just apologizes. What's the secret?

P.S. I hate Alexa.

P.P.S. Never mind. I had to tell Alexa to scan for devices. You'd think that that would be automatic when there's clearly a new device, but no, it wasn't. Now it works. But I still hate Alexa.
