So, living with Alexa for a while, and Aviva having sent me a £10 Amazon voucher for cancelling my house insurance with them, I thought it was time to extend her capabilities. To that end we introduced a Fire 4k TV stick.
Alexa said "I see a fire TV stick", and then sulked. Denied she had ever had any skills, claimed she had never been introduced to TV stick, and refused to talk to it. Worse she dropped Spotify, and refused to believe there was a premium account, and refused to accept there was an amazon prime account.
The instructions said it should all be handled with a few verbal commands. There were verbals ok, I shouted, raged and abused Alexa roundly at the end.
It was all resolved by multiple resets of fire TV and echo back to factory defaults, and putting stuff back into both and reintroducing them in a certain order I can now no longer remember.
