The Echo Show 15 recently received an update that allows it to operate on the Fire TV system directly. Before the update, users were limited to the main interface, which was essentially a calendar, reminder, and grocery list for families. Adding the Fire TV option to the Echo Show 15 makes it that much more valuable.
While the update has made the device more versatile, some users have experienced problems with apps not installing. If you’re having the same issue, let us know in the comments.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to connect your Fire TV remote directly to your Echo Show 15. It’s a simple process that should make using the device even easier.
To get started, head to the settings menu by swiping down on your screen. If your remote isn’t connected, you’ll see an option to connect it. Click on “Get started with Fire TV remote” and select “Pair remote.”
If you don’t have a remote, Amazon gives you the option to buy one. However, any Fire TV remote will work, even if it’s from an older device. Follow the instructions by holding down the home button for 10 seconds until it’s in discovery mode. Once it’s detected, click on the “Fire TV remote” option and it should connect.
With your remote connected, you can now navigate the Fire TV interface with ease. However, be aware that the device is still limited. Clicking on “Home” will toggle between the two home screens, but it won’t take you back to the main interface.
If you’re having issues with apps not downloading or installing, let us know in the comments. We’d love to find a solution for you.
Overall, connecting your Fire TV remote to your Echo Show 15 is a straightforward process that makes the device even more valuable. We hope this guide has been helpful to you.
