Dinushan Paranavithana Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I can get my lights to turn on/off using Alexa, but I cannot get my TV or projector to turn on. I have discovered the scenes. When I try to turn on the tv using Alexa, she says that she had trouble communicating with the device. I'm using a theater switch to switch between the TV and the projector. Both devices are connected via AVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thepritch88 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Do you have access to the dealer portal? a lot of your questions can be answered by searching through the knowledgebase or by watching smart skills. you also might want to sign up for the dealer forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amr Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 You have 2 options, native Support of Alexa with C4, u need a 4Sight Annual Subscription of $100, or use Epic Alexa Driver, will set u $100 or more can't remember, but you will not need 4Sight for that ...

cjh Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Another solution (a little bit kludgy but I find way more powerful) is to connect via IFTTT. Add the IFTTT driver (there is an open-source/freebie one) to your project, connect Alexa to IFTTT and you can do some neat automation. I find doing it this way helps b/c we have both Alexa and Google home around and using IFTTT allows me to duplicate everything for both devices easily.

kmonty2 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I have found the best way to turn on TV's is to do a custom programming with voice commands. That's what i use at home and works every time, works with on and off voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
