After I turned on Alexa Plus, I found the devices were randomly turning on.
I tried turning off Alexa Plus, renaming the spoken, using scenes instead of devices, turned off routines, turned off hunches and finally turned off the "spoken" on the devices so my wife wouldn't kill me. The only thing that worked was removing the spoken so it was clearly Alexa related.
Today, I found out that somewhere in my history with Alexa and ISY, I had turned on Guard which uses Away and Home modes. Away mode allows you to select up to 3 devices to turn on and off at random times. One of the new options in Away mode with Alexa plus is to automatically include new devices.
I turned off this capability, removed the devices and everything is working great.
Here is how to turn it off:
in Alexa app, go to devices
pick a device that is turning on randomly
select gear on top right
click on "away lighting" below device name
select choose lights
uncheck any or all devices
uncheck automatically add newly connected lights
and Bob's your uncle

I found an alternative way to delete scenes in the Alexa app . . .
You would need to add the scene to a Group, then delete it from there.
Open the Alexa App. Select Devices, then select a Group and hit "Edit" in the top right corner. Scroll all the way down and add these extra Scenes to the Group and save. While looking at the Group, scroll down and tap on the Scene and then you'll see the trash can icon to delete it. Not elegant, but it works
