[Electronics-Talk] fire sticks?

Sun Nov 25 02:59:30 UTC 2018

You somewhat misunderstood. I'm not wanting to control my other devices 
with the TV. I'm wanting to go the other way. I want to be able to tell 
my echo to turn the TV to ch4, or Turn the TV volume to say, 30% or turn 
the TV on/off via voice.

Chris.
