As already mentioned, you can use Amazon Alexa with Fire TV devices. The Fire
Edition Smart TV even has integrated Fire TV capabilities. If you don�t have it,
but have an external Fire TV device, you need to plug it in and set it up. To plug
the device in:
When the device prompts you to, take your Alexa Voice Remote and press the �Play�
button.
Select the preferred language and Wi-Fi network.
Enter the Wi-Fi password, if it has one.
Choose �Connect.�
See which Amazon account you want to connect with.
Let Amazon know if you�d like it to keep your Wi-Fi password and if you want to
turn parental controls on.
Finally, select �Choose Apps� and see which app you�d like to get. When ready,
press the �Play� button on your remote and wait for the process to finish.

If you�ve already done this, all that remains is connecting your Fire TV with your
Echo or similar device that supports Alexa:
SONY
From your Sony TV�s home screen, launch the �TV Control Setup with Amazon Alexa�
app.
Choose or create a Google account.
Give a name to your TV to identify it more easily.
Enable Sony�s Alexa skill.

control multiple different televisions from either your Android phone or your
iPhone. However, keep in mind that there likely are even more devices you can
control with it. See if yours is supported first. Also, look up other Alexa
commands to get to know it better.
