Title: FireTV/Samsung TV integration
Post by: smallard on April 19, 2020, 01:00:00 pm

Bit of a newbie to all things Alexa, pls excuse if I ask daft questions.

I have a Samsung 7 TV. I have a FireTV in one HDMI port and my satellite box (Sky) plugged into another.

I have a Echo Dot 4th Gen and I have the Samsung "Smart Things" skill loaded up on the app.

With this combination, I can say things like "Alexa change Samsung input to Fire" and then "Alexa launch Netflix".

But is there a way to combine the two into one command?

But I'd like to be watching satellite TV and go straight to Netflix i.e somehow train Alexa to know that it needs to first switch the input to the Fire.

Thanks.

You should be able to do this with routines or in the smartthings app setup a scene.
