Alexa Voice Remote Pro FAQs | Everything with Customizable Buttons including Routines, HDMI inputs

[@illuminati229]

Thanks for showing how to setup the shortcut buttons to switch to different HDMI inputs!

[@landpet]

No worries!

[@valueduser2746]

So the programming of voice commands to the buttons is a nice approach, but if it’s used to turn on a light using one button, the other button must be used to turn it off?

[@landpet]

Unless it can be used to toggle

[@TheRealBCD]

It doesn't seem to list any side loaded apps as options to program to the buttons. Am I doing something wrong?

[@landpet]

Unless you can use Alexa to access those, then it cannot be done at least as of now.

[@tolust]

THIS reason alone i did not purchase this crap

[@paul9387]

So first need to say a command and once it's said it stays and can be assigned to 1 or 2 button, Rock n roll 🤜🤛 thank you

[@CoolManGamez715]

How do I setup the find my remote feature I have the first echo dot but it won’t work and I just bought an echo and it doesn’t even give me that option

[@MrGoreMod]

My Cube 3rd gen isn't recognizing the pro remote. Just displays as another Amazon Fire TV Remote 2.

[@HAIRCUTS91]

Nothing happens when I push 1 or the Bluetooth

[@simonknight2973]

Not any Alexa command or routine will shown up on the FireTV. Only the ones supported by buttons.

[@akanchhaaryal4642]

Thanks for the interesting video. In my case the previous voice command does not appears on the list at all, 3:00 whenever I try to assign the button. Does anyone have similar problem?

[@satishprasannan4605]

Can I get the customizable button to open a TV's native settings menu? (To adjust picture mode settings, etc)

[@landpet]

Anything you can do via Alexa command, then you can do that with the remote. I don't know if that is possible, not something I've tried.

[@daveshreve7694]

if it hasn't been said already, just hold button 1 or 2 for a few seconds and it will jump to the setup of that button. For me: The voice command works for me to switch hdmi, but once its programmed to the button, "sorry something went wrong".

[@landpet]

Try shortening the voice command to just “HDMI 1” see if that works

[@daveshreve7694]

@@landpet same result. I notice the text puts periods between HDMI..as I'm H.D.M.I. I'm guessing that's causing issues. Thanks anyway

[@keithsnell4004]

I have same issue.. whatevert I try, I get "somethign went wrong" whenever I push the button, though using voice button and sying "HDMI 3" and it changes to that input fine. The number 1 reason I upgraded to this remote and it doesn't work... hmmm. Been trying different settings in TV control but nothing seems to make any difference.

[@michigantoga]

What is you have more than one? How do you rename it

[@landpet]

Idk, I only have one. See if the fire tv settings where you add it provides you with a rename option

[@sfgrgfsf212]

Thanks. I was wondering about the input switching.

[@landpet]

No problem

[@toneloc79]

I order two of them for my smart fire tv os tvs one for living room one for my bedroom can't wait for them

[@landpet]

Nice!

[@Element0Hg]

My Alexa mutes itself and the TV after I switch HDMI Port via buttons away from my FireTV. If I switch back to it she unmutes herself. Quite confused with this behaviour tbh. When using voice command everything works fine.

[@BTC909]

Samsung TV HDMI switching didn't work with a Fire Stick 4K. Alexa - "i'm not quite sure what went wrong". What you shown looks the same.

[@davidroberts2512]

cant get the hdmi switching to work. Alexa responds to the command to switch, I can set the button but when I try the button Alexa says ‘“I’m not quite sure what went wrong”… any ideas?

[@landpet]

Try changing the command to say "Alexa HDMI 1", then assign the button to that.

[@davidroberts2512]

@@landpet still does not work

[@billdiaz2933]

I can get using a voice command to switch inputs etc, but when I try to assign that same command to programmable button i get the "I am not quite sure what went wrong" when I press the button. Some switch input commands work, most don't

[@keithsnell4004]

@@billdiaz2933 Same here... LG TV if that's anyything to consider. Main reason I upgraded to this remote. 😞

[@ArtReynoso]

I tried this to set TiviMate to one of the buttoms but Alexa can't do it.

[@landpet]

Thanks for the heads up

[@michigantoga]

Not worth the price, bad battery drain, only two features are program buttons & find remote.

[@AngelaKay1974]

I lost my remote. So I used the pro.

[@landpet]

lol, I've been there.
