Alexa Amazon Echo/Dot Chat

Who turns the TV down as soon as the Echo advert comes on LOL
I wondered why there was dog biscuits in my shopping basket ;)
 
Still says Amazon Echo Latest Software Version: 4148 on the website, but in fact people are reporting they have 4172 on there Echos

Im still on 4008 :Angryfire
 
Same for me still on 4008. I tried a few suggestions on other threads but none worked for me. Tried unplugging for a period of time and also turned on the mute button for over an hour but no luck.
 
Wouldn't you be an hour early ;)

Thanks for the update.
Just tried logging in to IFTTT, still saying Alexa (US Only) channel. Have you had any luck running anything using IFTTT?
 
Im not running anything yet @gadgethome
But Ive read people getting different responses from Alexa

Thanks. Hard to see why its taking them so long. Everything is in place and its been working on the US version for ages.
 
forget ifttt for now and download yonomi. its available for ios and android. ive setup my harmony hub so i can turn tv on and off along with changing channels. ive set a routine so when i arrive home i dont even have to tell alexa anything but my tv comes on, lights on and heating set to 20!. all good fun
 
Ive been struggling all day getting it to work my TV

Echo, Harmony Hub, yonomi

Alexa keeps telling me "I've found several devices matching that name which one do you want"

But there is only 1 that says Living Room TV

Doing my nut in lol

I know its right because checked it out with gadgethome
 
And then I mess about and it works :)
 
I had to log out of yonomi then log back into alexa to sort it, took a while but worth it. pleased you got it sorted :D
now the fun starts with all the recepies. i did try to use the trigger goodnight to turn everything off but alexa just says sweetdreams lol
 
gotta make it turn off tv now lol
 
gotta make it turn off tv now lol

Is your TV still switched on or did you manage to turn it off? :)

Anyone using smart bulbs or wall sockets with the echo yet? If so, which ones did you go for?
 
I gave up for a while @gadgethome as it was doing my head in

still in 2 minds if I should send hub back tbh

Thats a shame. Its certainly a bit fiddly to set up but after that mine has been working fine.
 
I'll keep hold of it more than likely :)

tbh I think when harmony has its own skill it will be easier, which I think is just around the corner :)
