Alexa can control your TV by connecting it through the Alexa app, allowing you to use voice commands for various functions. Here's how to set it up:
-
Open the Alexa App: Start by launching the Alexa app on your smartphone or tablet.
-
Access Settings: Tap "More" (usually located in the bottom-right corner of the app) and then select "Settings."
-
Navigate to TV & Video: Choose "TV & Video" from the settings menu. This section manages connections to your entertainment devices.
-
Select Your TV or Video Service Provider: You'll see a list of supported TV manufacturers and video service providers (e.g., Samsung, Sony, Fire TV, etc.). Select the appropriate one for your TV.
-
Enable the Skill: Tap "Enable Skill" and follow the on-screen instructions. This typically involves linking your TV or service provider account to your Amazon account. You may need to sign in to your account for the selected provider.
In summary, the Alexa app acts as a bridge, allowing you to use voice commands to control your TV's functions once the skill is enabled and linked to your TV or streaming service account.
