Voice control is a great feature in smart devices, and it’s now possible to control your Roku TV with voice commands through your Amazon Echo device. In this article, we will guide you on how to connect your Amazon Echo device to your Roku TV.
Before we dive into the details, we must note that the keyword that activates Amazon Echo will be muted throughout this guide to prevent accidental activation of your devices.
The first step is to ensure that your Roku TV is compatible with your Amazon Echo device. To do this, go to Settings and then click on System. Check that your software version is 9.1 or later. If not, you can update your Roku TV manually using a USB key. Once you have confirmed that the software version is up-to-date, go to Power and enable Fast TV Start. This will ensure that your Roku TV responds to the power on and power off keywords sent through your Amazon Echo device.
Next, open the Amazon app on your smartphone and tap on More on the bottom right corner of the home screen. Then, tap on Skills and Games and search for Roku. Click on Roku and enable the skill. You will then be redirected to the Roku website to sign in with your Roku account.
After signing in, select the TV that you want to link with your Amazon Echo device. Tap on Link to the App and select the Amazon Echo device that you want to link with your TV. Then, tap on Link Devices, and your Amazon Echo device will be linked to your Roku TV.
Finally, name your TV and add it to a group, then tap on Continue. With everything set up, you can now use voice commands to control your Roku TV using your Amazon Echo device.
Here are some sample commands you can use:
• Turn on my room Roku
• Launch Prime Video on my room Roku
• Go to the home screen on my room Roku
• Turn up the volume on my room Raku
