Alexa App For Android Tv Apk
Madelyn Grindel
In order to play on Alexa I have to either speak directly to Alexa or I have to open the Alexa app and use Pandora through it.
This severely limits features and functionality that I want on the actual Pandora app.
Is there a way to add Alexa as a streaming device option on the Android Pandora app itself?
It sounds like your answer side-steps a pretty direct question. Presently when I'm playing Pandora on my phone and tap the cast icon it only offers me an android device I've previously linked. So are you saying that Pandora is not provisioned to cast to an Echo device?
I am flabbergasted that Pandora support would treat me this way. I specifically addressed, in my last reply, how the "accepted solution" goes around the actual question. Like @jdoolittle who did not 'love' your answer, as it doesn't actually deal with the question, it is the same for me. We've done what you offer, which does not result in Pandora being castable to an Echo device. Maybe you just aren't understanding the question?
Enabling Pandora as an Alexa skill is a separate item, that, while allowing us to play Pandora on an Echo device, doesn't fulfill the same function as casting to that device from Pandora. There is a specific reason we are seeking this other option, the one available with linking to Android. If this is not an option with Alexa just tell us straight! And better yet, offer the same for Alexa as you do for Android... but please, no more automated no-reply emails claiming a solution, as that solution solves a different concern.
Further review indicates that Amazon Alexa does not support casting with 3rd party apps, such as Pandora. Currently, Amazon only supports casting with their own products, such as Amazon Music. For additional questions or feature requests involving casting with an Alexa device, I would recommend contacting their support team directly.
Can any one please let me know about how to integrate Alexa AVS SDK to the android app.I have been searching seens long but not getting actual documentation about how this will work with custom mobile app for android.
Hubitat - set up and working with a few z-wave devices. I added package manager as well as the Ring Integration (although I don't see how to use this for my ring doorbell and cams). Does the Ring Integration allow live or snapshot videos to be displayed in a dashboard? If the native dashboard does not, then does SharpTools or Home Assistant have that functionality?
I just got a new Yoga 11 tablet and my plan was to make it a Hub in my kitchen running the
a) Hubitat Dashboard on the screen most of the time
b) Alexa android app in the background (replacing the Echo Show in this room) as the voice assistant
c) Ring live view integration that switches automatically upon doorbell press or other trigger
This is where my problems start:
The Alexa app on the Android tablet doesn't appear to be compatible with Live View (error message 'Live view isn't available right now"). Live view works fine through the Ring app but just not in Alexa. This kind of puts a damper on my plan to be able to say "Alexa show me the door bell live view" etc.
Got it. To view snapshots, you will need to set this up in the Unofficial Ring app. Then when the setup is done, there will be a link provided. In the dashboard, use this link in an image tile. It will be visible locally, but not when you are away from home (unless you have setup a VPN).
I am quite new to HA, just installed it on an NUC7i5 a week ago, installed some add ons like Philips TV, File Explorer, HACS and things like that since then. Also installed the SkyConnect stick on my NUC. Everything went quite normal using several videos mostly from simon42 on youtube and I did nothing special. Everything worked fine so far.
Trying to follow the port issue, I changed the port of my HA installation to 443 in the configuration.yaml, which works fine locally in my home, but did not chage the failure when trying to activate the home assistant skill in the alexa-App. I also activated the 2 phase authorization in my amazon account (once by using MS authentificator, once by getting the access code per text message on my phone), cause I thought/read, that it would be necessary. Some information from the internet pointed to port configration/redirecting of the router to redirect calls from outside of my local net to HA for the authentification calls by the skill activation.
I mostly could not really understand these descriptions, as my knowladge is minimal in these subjects. I gave up at 3 AM and hope, that someone here can help me as a I am not that deep into the technical details. I already read some topics here from which I often understand not the half of it.
I've tried every solution I could find online but my Versa 4 will not connect to Alexa. I get the consistent error(Unable to connect, there was an error connecting to your amazon account. Please try again) We'll I have tried again, repeatedly with no success. Today I contacted fitbit customer service and was told to contact amazon..... Amazon does not support fitbit products. I have an android S22Ultra. I'm at a loss. Any advice?
On the latest Samsung phones there can be issues related to the Gallery, don't know if it may also affect the Voice Assistant so worth checking. See No internet connection even if the phone is working normally.
I have this problem too. Exact same message. Over and over and over. I tried a zillion things, including the suggestion given for the original post. I logged out, cleared cache, force quit, restarted watch and phone. Newly updated Fitbit App from Google Play Store. Android is up to date for my phone (Android 12). I asked customer support for help with this yesterday and was told I needed to update Fitbit app, which was not yet available for me yesterday. But today it is now available, and I could update. Does not help. I removed my watch from my account and added it again. I'm at a loss now for what to do, because there is really nothing left to try that I can think of. The watch (or account?) does get added to Amazon account because when I go to my Amazon account I see it (and then I remove it so I can try to add again). It always gets added to Amazon but then my browser takes me back to Fitbit and there I get the message that there was an error connecting my Amazon account (exactly like the image in the original post). I even logged out of, and reinstalled, Amazon apps including Amazon Shopping and Alexa (then logged back in). I even set a different default browser that gets launched during this process. Like I said I really think I tried everything I could think of (other than setting additional different default browsers besides the two I tried, Brave and Firefox). But maybe someone has a suggestion, otherwise I will bother customer support again (which is not promising because the advice I got yesterday did not help).
The weird thing is, when I first got my watch, I successfully set up Alexa! Firefox was the browser that got launched and successfully linked my accounts. But after a day or two, Alexa on the watch would no longer connect to the phone, and I got the (false) note on the watch that the phone is not connected to the internet. I had other weird issues (graphics from different tiles overlapping and watch freezing), so I factory reset the watch, and re-updated, which all went smoothly, and now absolutely everything works (as far as I know) except I can no longer connect Alexa. This is sad because Alexa was one of the few reasons why I chose Versa 4 over Charge 5. With most smart features removed from Fitbit "smartwatches" there is little reasons for these models to exist in addition to the Charge, if voice assistant will not work. If anyone has had this issue and found a fix, please share! It was so cool to have Alexa on my watch.
@Biceboca - if you did try logoff Amazon (mentioned in the other post), can you try log out of the Fitbit App and swipe off the active window, clear the storage cache and force stop it, and for Amazon clear cookies and restart the phone, that may help, if not already done.
Thanks for your reply and trying to help. Yes I've tried all of those things. I even uninstalled the Fitbit app and downloaded it again and logged in and set up all the settings and permissions all over again, carefully checking things. Rebooted the phone (many times actually) because in my experience the phone reboot is the most likely to fix issues. I even completely shut down, waited a minute or two and power up the phone, instead of just restart. I still suspect the issue is with my phone/android app. I think the watch is okay. The factory reset and firmware update I did yesterday went smoothly and the setup process went smoothly too. I don't get the sense that the watch is defective. It's some weird issue with my phone and/or the Fitbit app, or my Fitbit account.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think what I'm trying to do so hard is simply linking the Fitbit app on my android phone to the Amazon account. And that's not working according to the Fitbit android app (even though my Amazon account shows the link to Fitbit). That is, I think when the process works as it should, the Amazon account is not being linked to a specific watch, but to a specific Fitbit app that I'm logged into on my phone. Then the linked Fitbit android app communicates with the watch -- except it never gets to that stage because the app thinks the link did not work, even though it did, according to Amazon. So I **think** it has nothing at all to do with my watch, at least for the step I'm having trouble with. It seems the issue is with the Fitbit app. The weird thing though is, I did get it to work, sort of, when I first set up the watch. It's trying again that is failing.
But even clearing data and cache and reinstall and re-log-in does not really start things from scratch with Fitbit app, because once I log in I have all my previously selected watch faces for my watch, so some things are saved with my account with Fitbit separately from the phone, and when I re-log-in all of those saved things get transferred to my phone, so I'm thinking I can't really start from scratch unless maybe I make a new Amazon (or Fitbit) account. (Even if I remove the watch from the Android Fitbit app, I get back the settings when I add the watch back.) I set up a new Fitbit account when I got my Versa 4 and because it is linked to a research program, I'm not making another one. I will try to set up a brand new Amazon account. I don't think it would be an issue to have a new one just for Fitbit because I doubt that this entire process has anything at all to do with Amazon apps on my phone (I don't think Fitbit communicates with Amazon android apps, but only directly with Amazon Alexa, and it would be okay for Amazon android apps to be signed in to my original Amazon account). I had tried logging out, clearing cache, and reinstalling Amazon apps (Alexa and Shopping) only because there seems to be nothing else to try but I really don't think those apps have any relevance to Fitbit app or watch function.
