SJC13 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hello, i have control4 and have recently hooked up echo and Dot in most rooms. Could someone please tell me how I can play my songs from Alexa to my home speakers. I can do it through Sonos, but I would like it to be voice activated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks you really can't do it well. you can create a voice scene and use that to trigger turning on speakers. Then you need to wire the echo or dot via BT or cable to a controller or amp...it can work but eh, it doesn't work well and not worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC13 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 thanks for the info. Good advice and makes sense. Seems too difficult for me anyway, but thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Or you can use a voice scene to trigger a Sono's event and use Alexa to tell C4 to play stuff from Sonos. A lot of programming required if you want to make it flexible and reserved words become a pain although the IFTTT driver gets you around that particular problem.

mstafford388 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 There is a driver for the dot that makes it a source. If you feed audio from the dot to your house audio system you can talk to Alexa to fire off music from the dot. when used with the voice scene driver you can get pretty fancy. Set up voice scene for "Alexa turn on dot in family room" to select the dot as the source, then "alexa play amazon prime playlist x". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I understand it completely but I will think it through. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
