OK. I'll try my best to put in all steps:
NOTE: Any links for apps are for the Android version but there is an iOS version too although I cannot verify this as I don't have an Apple device.
- Get THIS hardware: NOTE: I have linked to the UK version - please make sure you get the hardware for your own country.
- IMPORTANT: Make sure your Alexa app is up to date with the latest version.
- Get THIS app for EU or THIS for RoW from Google Play
- Get THIS app from Google Play
- Run the Smart Life app on your phone and setup the TV as you would like. You don't really need to configure this from the default as that's done in the Intelligent Home Center app.
- Now run the Intelligent Home Center app and follow the instructions to set up a Universal Remote. You can set all the standard TV settings but you CANNOT set complex functions like the apps button unless you wish to "trick" the system to using a different button, let's say "Channel Up" to be remapped to the apps button. If you need help with this I can do this in a separate post or thread.
- Next, in the Alexa app, get the BroadLink Smart Home skill. Obviously, get the applicable version for your region.
- After enabling that skill, you should automatically be prompted to scan for new devices. If you have setup your TV correctly then Alexa should find the TV and now you can control it by saying things like "Alexa, turn on TV" or "Alexa, increase volume of TV by 10" and if you have done any "remapping" You can say things like "Alexa, turn on apps". NOTE: You will need to rename remapped functions in the Intelligent Home Center app first.
Well, hopefully that should sort it for you but please feel free to come back if you get stuck or need clarification.
Cheers
Chris
EDITED some steps to try to make things a bit clearer. Not sure if this will be instantly approved but new messages take about a week to be approved from me at this time.
