How to make Echo connects automatically to bluetooth speaker
« on: December 23, 2020, 09:07:20 am »
Hey guys, I'm trying to create a routine to Alexa power on my home theater (playing a scene created on a hub) and than connect with it using bluetooth.
The thing is that the home theater powers on and enters in pairing mode but the echo does not connects to it automatically... On the Alexa app on my android smartphone it's configured to play music on the home theater and not on internal speakers but the Echo always plays on internal speakers  :(

What am I doing wrong?

what command are you using to connect?  Usually all I say is Alexa connect to connect to bluetooth.  If not already added, give it a try in your routine.

Ok... when I speak the command Alexa connect it works but I want it to connect automatically...
Example: I have a routine that when I say "Alexa, party mode", the echo dot turns on the lights, turns on the speaker, (should) connects to it and plays a specific playlist from Spotify...
But even I setting the default speaker to the bluetooth and not the internal, Alexa keep using the internal.

Is there a way to ask Alexa to connect to a bluetooth speaker inside a routine?
