Alexa, Echo Dot and Logitech Harmony Remote Question

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi Guys,

 

Currently I have my echo dot working the a vizio tv, roku 3 and amazon fire Tv. I have two questions/Issues.

  1. When I run the Alexa setup app for my Harmony remote it picks up the apps on the Roku but not on the Fire TV. Does anyone have the same issue with the Fire TV?
  2. I can have Alexa turn TV on, off and such delights. Is there any way i can do a sleep timer. I tried "Alexa, turn TV off in 5 minutes" She sad "OK" and just does not do so. Can anyone shine some light on their experience regarding this?

So far I am enjoying the the linking of Alexa and Harmony remote. Will be trying to figure out other things I can do beyond the basic functions

 

Thx in advance!

1. Are you using the Harmony skill? Do you have distinct names for each the Roku and Fire TV?

2. Alexa can set a timer/reminder. It cannot set a timer for an action to turn on/off.

I don't know why your activity isn't showing up. Do your other activities appear?
