Have a little irritating problem I can’t seem to find an answer to.
I’ve just bought a couple of echo dots as well as a couple of firesticks.
The fire stick remote is the only remote I use for the main tv. But I’m struggling to make switching inputs easy.
Currently my inputs are:
HDMI 1 - Firestick
HDMI 2 - Xbox
HDMI 3 - Laptop
I’ve linked my LG smart tv to Alexa, so it understands when I say “Alexa, switch TV input to HDMI 1/2/3” but doesn’t understand “Alexa, switch to Xbox/ Laptop” which is easier and clearer phrase to understand for everyone.
Is there a way for an exact command to be executed with a custom phrase? NOT a routine.
I just want to be able to say “Alexa, switch to “ rather than teaching the household which inputs are plugged into which hdmi port.
1st world problem.
I know it’s doable through a silly workaround as I’ve tested it. Using 2 echos next to each other, creating a routine with a custom trigger phrase, which then gets Alexa to reply with a custom answer/ phrase to the echo next to it. But it shouldn’t be that difficult.
