When I tell alexa to set the oven temp to whatever, it does it, but it turns on only the top heating element instead of the rear. And I can’t figure out how to set the steam level.

Is there a way to at least make it turn on only the rear element?

Say “Alexa, set the oven to convection bake at 350 degrees”. Then oven turns on w/just the rear heating element.

Nice! That worked perfect. Any way to set steam level?

I don’t think so, at least I haven’rt found a way. Here’s a list of Alexa commands:
