Plus, this speaker's designed to communicate with other smart devices in your Sonos home ecosystem, which is cool. Spread audio throughout your house or a larger room for an improved sound. You can pair it with a compatible Sonos soundbar for enhanced surround sound. Since the speaker supports Dolby Atmos, it can bring a more immersive feel to Dolby Atmos Music found on different streaming platforms like Apple Music. If you don't need all these extra bells and whistles, you may prefer one of the more affordable models on our list, but if you want the best of the best, this speaker's the way to go. Play music on other (or multiple) Alexa devices: "Alexa, play [artist/album/song/genre] in the living room" or, "Alexa, play [music] everywhere." Your other option is to completely reset your Echo. If you have a first-gen Echo or Echo Dot, there's a pin-hole at the bottom with a reset button; poke something in there, hold it down, and it'll restart like new. This means one of two things. If you've just plugged in a new Alexa device, or reset one to factory defaults, an orange light indicates that the device is in setup mode. If not, Alexa's orange ring tells you you're connecting to the network.Alexa can integrate with loads of smart home platforms, such as SmartThings, Philips Hue, Wink, Insteon, Lutron, Belkin WeMo and many more. Some require you to enable skills, and some don't. If you have traditional TV service from Comcast, AT&T U-Verse, DirecTV, Dish, Spectrum, Cox, Verizon Fios, Centurylink Prism, Frontier Fios, or Mediacom, the Fire TV Cube can tune into live channels as well. To set this up, head to Settings > Equipment Control > Manage Equipment > Add Equipment, and then select Cable or Satellite. Once it’s set up, try these commands: Still, this speaker gets loud enough to fill an average living room with sound, and its additional smart features allow you to amplify your audio if needed. Like the Echo Studio, you can pair this speaker with other compatible devices to bring audio to different rooms in your home or amplify it in one larger space like a basement. It even boasts the same Zigbee hub capabilities, so you can ask Alexa to control other smart devices in your home. This speaker offers a really impressive performance for the price, so it's worth a look if you want an Alexa speaker. The Fire TV Cube even has a built-in infrared blaster, which can directly control your television, sound system, and certain cable boxes. The initial setup process should handle the pairing, but you can set up equipment again through Settings > Equipment Control > Set Up Equipment. Then, try some of these commands:

Next step is to head into the app, find any multi room groups you might have previously created, and delete them. If you haven't yet created any, that's OK - but we've found that misfiring multi room always needs a fresh start if you've used it before.Alexa, switch inputs” or “Alexa, switch to HDMI one.” (The latter command might not work with all televisions.) Microsoft's Cortana is available as a skill-- but rather than just being a skill, it opens the door to a completely separate digital assistant through your Alexa speakers.

Kids can ask Alexa to play parent-approved music and stories with the Echo Dot Kids Edition. Julie Snyder Alexa commands for help with definitions and spelling Alexa, wake me up every day at 8 a.m. to music" allows users to set their mornings off right with music from Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, iHeartRadio and Vevo. Probably the biggest annoyance of multi room audio through Echo devices is that they get so comfortable playing multi room audio that it's very difficult to convince them otherwise. Stop the tunes, ask them to play again, and they'll restart on all the speakers they were playing on before even if you don't specify a group. A purple light means Alexa has failed to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Either it has the wrong credentials, or your network is down. Try restarting the Alexa device, unless everything else in your house has lost connectivity, in which case it's time to fiddle with your router.

Alexa commands for profiles and user accounts

Step 2: Sony menus can differ a little here, but you will want to look for an option that says Apps or Your Apps. Select it. Some set-top boxes, such as the TiVo Roamio shown here, can be controlled with Alexa voice commands. To turn on notifications, open the Alexa app and select to Settings, then Notifications, then Shopping Notifications and toggle it on. Your Echo speakers will light up yellow when you have new notifications. Change the color of the lights: "Alexa, make the living room lights red" or, " Alexa, turn the lights to soft white." While we're on the subject, we'd absolutely recommend you disable Alexa voice purchasing if you live in a multi-person household or ever have mischevious visitors. Sure, this can be pin-protected, but that's a pin you recite with your voice, which is fundamentally stupid. Just switch it off in Settings > Account Settings > Voice Purchasing and leave it off forever. Alexa troubleshooting: Multi room madness

Step 1: Once the TV is set up, use the remote control and press the Home button (if you are not already at the Home screen). To connect your TV box, open the Alexa app, hit the menu button in the top-left corner, select Music, Video, & Books, and then choose your provider from the list. Select “Enable skill,” and follow the on-screen instructions. On standard Echo units, call out your wake word (usually "Alexa", as long as you've not changed it to one of the other options) and the brightest part of the blue ring will point toward the direction in which Alexa heard its name called. If it's not pointing to you, that's a hint that something's still not right. Grab some compressed air and gently clear the microphone ports on top; don't start poking pins in there, because you are not a savage. Play a song based on context: "Alexa, play the latest Avett Brothers album" or, "Alexa, play that song that goes 'Gotta gotta be down, because I want it all.'"Activate a scene (limited to Control4, Insteon, Lutron Caséta Wireless, Philips Hue, SmartThings and Wink): "Alexa, turn on Movie Time" or, "Alexa, turn on Bedtime."
