To customize the channels on your TV, you can use the following steps:
- Use the remote control to turn on and off the Mi TV Stick.
- To turn off the Fire TV using Alexa, you can use voice commands. If you have an Amazon Fire Edition smart TV, you can access some of its features with the following commands:
- "Alexa, turn on/off Fire TV"
- "Alexa, set volume to 6 for Fire TV"
- Owners of second-generation Alexa remotes on Fire Stick devices can use voice commands to adjust the volume. Simply ask Alexa to increase or decrease the volume by pressing the Microphone button on the remote.
- To find the IR profile of your TV, follow these steps:
- Go to the main menu of your Fire TV.
- Select "Settings" and then "Equipment Control".
If Alexa is not turning on the TV, you should check if the network is disabled when the TV is in standby mode. This usually happens after a few hours and prevents Alexa from sending a command. Wait for a minute and then try turning off the TV with Alexa. Also, consider the suggestions for controlling volume, turning on/off, and opening apps.
The easiest method to turn on the TV without a remote control is to physically press the power button, usually located on the back or bottom of the device. This method may seem obvious at first glance.
