Can't get AV device to change input

Featured Replies

Posted

As the title says. I have AV devices set up and mostly working but cannot get inputs commands to work on any of devices. I"m assuming I should be using names that you specify on the right side? When I say, for example, "Alexa, change input to netlix on TV", it just gives error beep. All other commands work fine, including changing volume to a numeric value. 

 

What am I doing wrong?

Some names may not be recognized correctly by Alexa.

Try common input names like "game" or "cable".

Yes, it worked with simpler names. Thanks. Didn't think "netflix" would be hard to understand  but at least I know there's no issue with these devices.
