I just wanted to get rid of the yellow light.
The Alexa reply, "I don't know that one," occurs quite often around my house. She does that even to tried and true commands that normally work fine. But for some strange reason, she will occasionally say "I don't know that one." I prefer that come back, as annoying as it is, to her going off on a sales pitch for something I didn't ask about and am not interested in. I've found that the best way to shut her up, other than unplugging her, is the say, "Alexa, stop!" However, sometimes when she is in the middle of an advertisement pitch she won’t even listen to commands.

Quite frankly, I often have better luck getting the cats to do what I tell them than getting Alexa to do what I tell her!
