Echo plugin and Amazon Fire Tv Stick

---

it only works with alexa devices actually.

@karl78 Many thanks for the feedback

@leader21 Many thanks for the feedback . Maybe the Ha Bridge works with my Fire TV Stick, i´ll give it a try ;:)

@ jan san please give feedback

@karl78 i installed the HA bridge on my pi successfully,
but it wasn´t recognized when my fire tv stick searched for devices ;:(

At the moment i have absolutely no idea of how to control my lights/Heater etc with fire tv stick.
any Suggestions?

maybe @michbeck100 has a clue?

I’m using the remote of my fire tv at home without any problems. Please try to search for devices using the Alexa app or go to alexa.amazon.de. They should work OOTB.

@michbeck100 Well, i tried it several times, but it didnt find any devices.I guess it makes a difference using a fire tv or a fire tv stick. Any clue?

As far as I know fireTV stick can only do “local” smarthome stuff if there is an other echo in the house. It might work if you use a smarthome-skill.

Hello,
I have a Fire Tv no stick.
Alexa also finds no devices no preference whether with pimatic echo or ha-bridge.
Can someone send a working pimatic-config to test?

@karl78 i guess @thex is right.

@karl78 Hello Alexa works very fine with this plugin ;O)

you must say Alexa search for devices . dont activate a new skill !!

nice Plugin

Hello,
I now have a DOT. Now ALEXA finds the devices. How do you control your shutters?
Shutter on and off?

@karl78 Yes, on for up and off for down I think.

for german users - schalte wohnzimmer rolladen ein / aus
where “wohnzimmer rolladen” the name of the shutter device is
this will move it up or down
