Pi-hole® - A black hole for Internet Advertisements

Recently, presumably after one of the recent updates, I've noticed my Hubitat C-7 (Platform version 2.3.9.184) has been trying to reach "acbsahcbczvlj-ats.iot.us-east-2.amazonaws.com" in excess of 4,500 times in every 24 hour period. I've blocked the address in my pi-hole but that doesn't stop the network traffic, just stops it from going through.

I do not have a cloud connection set up for my Hubitat, nor do I have ANY cloud-connected devices on my network which is locked down pretty tight. Avoiding dealing with "the cloud" was the main reason I purchased my Hubitat in the first place! There is no reason - that I can find - for these connection attempts, much less for THOUSANDS of them daily. Anyone have any ideas?
