Well, they could conceivably watch as you enter/exit your home, but if you have Alexa already then I would think they could infer from silence or lack-thereof whether the home is occupied.
- dbbk 9y agoAlexa doesn't open any connection to Amazon servers until you say the hotword 'Alexa'.
- 24gttghh 9y agoOne could still infer from a lack of 'Alexa' hotword prompts over a span of time whether the home was occupied I reckon.

- twothamendment 9y agoThat kinda logic doesn't work. Just because someone doesn't use Alexa for hours doesn't mean they aren't home. It happens every night.
