CONTROLLING YOUR TELEVISION WITH VOICE?- ECHO DEVICE

Ever thought of controlling your television with voice?

Well you can do it easily with the help of Echo, SmartThings and Harmony hub. By following a series of simple steps, you can use the Alexa App to control your television and set top box. Yes! You can change channels, select proper input and alter other settings of your television using this setup.

For the system to work, you must have your Echo system ready and working. Basically, this arrangement allows you to use Echo system to operate your television and set top box. Details regarding the Amazon Echo Setup are available on the Amazon Echo Help page. Apart from that, you should also have your Harmony and SmartThings hub ready.

Harmony Hub Since the SmartThings hub is compatible with both the Harmony hub and Echo, we can use it to connect the two. First of all, you have to add activities to the Harmony hub. The activity you add depends on the type of function you want Alexa to perform.

Since the objective of this setup is to control the television, you will add that activity. The activity will turn on the television and set top box. It will also set the receiver’s input.

After reaching this point, you should edit the initial portion of the activity to add commands for tuning in to different channels.

You can also create a separate activity for tuning into various channels. If you want Alexa to control further options, you can add them as separate activities.

Smart Things Hub In this software, you have to add a new device. This addition will link the Logitech Harmony Hub to the Smart Things Hub. Once you have added the device details, you will get an option to choose the activities you want to import. Whichever activities you select will be imported with the same name except [Harmony Activity] will be added in the end. Be sure to remove this as it will then confuse Alexa.

With this, you have your Harmony and Smart Things hubs connected. You are just left with the Amazon Alexa setup to have voice control over your TV.

Echo Setup With both the Harmony and SmartThings hubs connected, you just need to link them with the Echo system. Once you have done this, you can use your normal Amazon Echo Tap or Amazon Echo Dot devices to operate your television. You can link your Alexa app to the system by going to the settings tab. In the settings tab, you will select the “connected home� option. Under this tab, you will find the option to connect to your SmartThings hub.

Once you enter the details of SmartThings, you will be asked about the hub you want to connect to and the devices you want Alexa to control.

Select the devices you have added (your Harmony Hub) and that’s it! You can now control your television with your voice using Alexa. More details about connecting with Alexa can be found at www amazon com echosetup.

This arrangement has worked fine for many users. There is not a single review which does not praise the efficiency with which these three systems work. Once you have made the necessary links, you just have to say “turn on the TV� and orders will be carried out. This new option adds to the functionality of your existing hubs and systems giving you more control and ease.
