When asked by Alexa, it goes to the FireTV screen…

Amazon announced the strengthening of Fire TV alliances with Alexa-equipped devices such as the Echo series. Accordingly, it becomes possible in the future to display the Alexa device response on Fire TV.

The Amazon Fire TV device itself is compatible with Alexa, and smart speakers and smart displays can be used through a dedicated remote control. It can also be paired with an Echo device to play content such as Prime Video through the Echo device.

In addition to these features, the enhanced function is, for example, to display the weather for a week on the FireTV screen when instructed to show the weather to the Echo device. The voice command response can be viewed on a screen with more information. In addition, you can view traffic information, calendars, and smart home camera images.

Previously, it was possible to perform similar tasks by adding the word “on Fire TV”, but by reinforcing it, users can experience a feeling of operation similar to a smart display on a large screen with simple operation. Accordingly, pairing is automatically performed with the Echo device minus the Echo Show and Spot through sequential updates. In the case of Echo Shows and Spots with their own screens, their own display is given priority, so they are not used in conjunction with Fire TV, so they are excluded.
