Thank you, CrimpOn - that worked - although I am not sure how. If I go to the Alexa App - I had 3 of 4 attempts before Alexa saw the plug - Alexa says Device Unresponsive. However if I say turn on or off the Light it works. As you might guess....I am not a Millenial.
I really appreciate the assist!
