The first-gen echo devices at least actually had a board that listened for the activation word only that then powered on the main device. It’s why you couldn’t name them whatever you wanted, but had to choose between “Echo”, “Alexa”, “Amazon”, or “Computer.”
Some of them have hardware switches
but that could simply be wired to an LED and nothing else
