Devialet compatible with Alexa?

@A+flying+pig  Make sure your Sky Soundbox is unpaired from any bluetooth device.

The photo's will take awhile to be approved before you can see them.

In the Alexa app select your Echo Dot from the list

Select it again if the Echo Dot Device Settings are not showing.

(Mine's already paired with the Sky Soundbox )

You need to select it to put your Echo Dot into pairing mode and also make sure your Sky Soundbox is in Discovery mode.

Your Sky Soundbox should say " Bluetooth discovery mode" when you cycle through the outputs on the Soundbox Remote.

When your Sky Soundbox is connected to your Echo Dot you should hear a voice confirmation saying " Bluetooth Device Connected

Thanks for that. I've tried that, and each time it gets to the last step, Alexa just says your device wasn't paired. I've un paired devices from Soundbox, it's in discovery mode. I've successfully paired other devices to the Soundbox with no hassle, but seems Alexa won't play.  Think I'll just stick to music / radio from phone to Soundbox. Thanks again

How do you connect the sky Q2 terabyte box to your Alexa? 

i've got the sound box connected but I can't figure out how to do the sky Q box. 

it will be brilliant if Sky had a skill.

but knowing Sky we probably get it when everybody has moved on to something else..

They were  quick enough on the useless format of 3-D TV. 😂 all that money spent on that and they can't get HDMI-ARC i on sky Q or on the soundbox.

Hi @prescol 

Although there aren't any official ways to connect Alexa to your Sky Q box (and although there are some unofficial skills around which are messy)  the best voice command system for me is just to use the Sky remote voice function which I think works extremely well.

Thank you for your quick response,

it just be nice to turn off everything in my living room with just one command. Without pressing all these different buttons..

i've got it all set up now except for the sky Q box which I still have to pressed the button on the remote..

One workaround would be get a smart plug for the  sky box,, but then it won't update overnight.

Updates are very infrequent and can be applied retrospectively on-demand.  It would be much more of a concern that the hard drive was crashing each time such a plug cut the power off abruptly.
