Heck yeah finally found someone that fits my narrative when it comes to teaching on social platform such as UA-cam! Perfect integration of UA-cam presentation 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
WOW! I had to stop the playback right at 1:24 and check out the non-auto play feature. Excellent find! Now, can you find a similar setting for Netflix? :)
this is another reason why are screen is awesome and why these Amazon sticks are so great because not only are they more powerful than some tablets relationship maybe five or even stuff that was released just a few years ago but streaming to these devices makes it so wonderful especially when you have a projector in your setting it outside
i recently purchase Firestick tv 4k and thinking of buying a Chromecast with google tv to replace it while i start my smart home setup which at 1st i intend to do a Google ecosystem but watching tons of videos including yours i think Amazon is a better option for me at the moment. thanks
What do you recommend for a replacement for SmartDry since SmartDry has been discontinued? It seemed like a great idea for saving not only time but also money buy not running your dryer longer than necessary I would love to find a similar product that does the same thing Thank you for your great videos they are a tremendous help to automate my home Thanks again Scott
Hey Brian, a very brilliant video. Had a quick question. How to use the voice assistant (Alexa on the phone) to give commands to the Fire Stick / TV ? (instead of opening up the Fire TV app on the phone or press+hold the voice button on the Fire Stick remote)?
So if you have an Android you can do that! Just use the name of your TV and there are a few commands you can give. Not everything! Don't expect the moon. However, you can also create shortcuts to do things on your Fire Stick with Routines now. Check out this video for a little more insight into that: ua-cam.com/video/HTHuNnAfczE/v-deo.html
Thank you, very knowledgeable nice video. I was wondering if maybe you know the answer, I just purchased the Amazon Fire Stick 3rd GEN 2021 that I connected to a regular
Thank you for sharing. I have a fantastic tv ,excellent picture , I don’t watch tv much so won’t replace it ..but it’s a plasma, can you tell me please is the fire stick screen savers likely to give screen burn. I already have some from subtitles as hard of hearing .
I just bought a Fire tv. I have been using a fire stick with my previous tv. I think you get the same features without the stick. Your thoughts please. Thank you.
It's close. The Fire TV Sticks have less features in some cases vs the Fire TVs themselves. The Omni series usually is closer to a Fire TV Cube (the top), while the 4 series is more like a Fire TV Stick.
Thinking about this set up too, I wanted to ask, can I put the Echos at the back of the living room so have sound playing from them and the TV? Would it sync properly or would there be a delay?
If you buy the dual hdmi cables, can you play a Roku and Firestick simultaneously! Thanks so much for sharing this. I’m 62 and I need your help. Please respond to help me. Thanks so much!
Hey there. I'm not sure it would help! These should generally go in separate ports in the back of your TV and then everything will work great. What would be your goal with the dual cables?
Sorry Junior. Is that a specific brand? Or just WIFI cameras in general. If it's just WiFi cameras in general, then you just add them through the Alexa app! Go there, go to devices, hit the plus and add a device, and try to add your brand.
Us old school folks have to deal with our old theatre sound systems. Personally, I am stuck with my old speakers that each contain one 15" woofer, 2 mid-range dome drivers, and 4 dome tweeters. So we have to deal with things like floors shaking, and the jumping out of ones seat when action movies suddenly go into audio shock the heck out of you mode. Yep, it is tough for us old fogies. I built those speakers back in 1976.
I can’t find the list of devices you showed. Maybe I need to be on desktop and not my phone? Or maybe it’s buried in the comments? I’ll figure it out. Great video, tons of help! I’m super deep into the Alexa ecosystem, just wish I’d found your channel sooner! Liked and subscribed!!❤

@@eddiegaspar278 Nothing else I've seen, sorry! Try a vibration sensor from Aqara. That can work and then you can create a notification. Requires an Aqara hub though.
I've been using Tinycam pro for many years, great product. When I have a new model camera, I contacted them to give them access so they can add it as an option.
@@AutomateYourLife it was a over a year ago, but it was one of those dbpower outdoor bullet cameras. I'm in the process of replacing all the cameras throughout the house. Many of them are about 10 year old PTZ cameras I got back in the day. it's amazing how much I paid then, versus how much the new ones are that are so much better. Progress I guess!
@@AutomateYourLife Thank you! the salesman at best buy told me the new tv would work with my echo show. expensive to find out it wouldn't work. I appreciate your quick response. again. thank you. so, if i buy a fire cube it will connect my tv to the drop in feature on my echo show? so confusing for an old lady
At 5:30 you described the home theatre setup. I have been using this to aid persons with hearing difficulties as it puts a speaker next to the seat verses 8-12 feet away. The Amazon Bluetooth A/V tracking sync feature is pretty neat
Hi Brian, excellent tutorial, thanks! One question, I have an HD 2021 firestick connected in Bluetooth to my LG soundbar. Although it is connected I need to pair them every time I want to use it. Is there a way for an automatic connection between the two systems? Thanks!
I think this is just the way you'll find a few Bluetooth devices. In fact, I don't have anything that stays connected myself now that I think about it... You shouldn't have to pair, but maybe yes, click on the item in Bluetooth settings to get it to re-pair.
Be nice, for sound set up, if you could demonstrate how to set up and connect your TV service provider set top device. Major headache to have to change HDMI output to get to fire device. Nice if Fire could just mange all.
Automate Your Life I verified that the CEC was set to on, which it was. In setting, curiosity got the cat so I scrolled to Manage My Equipment. I scrolled down to DVR, which my ISP/TV provider Switch Box is, followed the instruction and BINGO. I can now turn operate my TV and Five Stick with Alexa and Fire TV remote. Never a dumb question is there?
My fire remote seems to kill the batteries fast. I also have to open the remote and spin them to get it to work much to often. I just resort to using my iphone or ipad apps for remote control. Should I call amazon for a replacement? It is the gen two fireStick.
Hi Dan I am using tivimate with Amazon firestick, however whilst I have all the channels listed all show ‘ No information,’ how do I get it to show what’s on. Mo
Great video!!! I'm just having problems running the Bell Fibe tv app. I can see recording but to watch the channels it doesn't work. Called amazon they said bell problem blocked the apt. Don't get why I can watch it off my computer but not the fire stick.
Oh that's definitely something I'd talk to Bell about. I had a similar problem with Telus and they ended up sending me an Apple TV box...lol. Cause like...if I can't watch it, why am I subscribed?!
I went a step farther. Got rid of bell fibe, got rid of Netflix cause if you really get into firestick you find out you can get every thing for free. That includes Amazon prime stiff, HBO, Disney etc etc.
Hi , Nice video. I recently purchased FireTV stick 4k. I want to control the volume of the bluetooth device like Airpods which are connected to Fire TV. is there a simple way to do that. Anytime i use Fire TV remore, it only controls the TV sound and not the blutooth device's sound connected to it.
Is there a way to display more than 4 (maybe.. 8? 10? 12?) network cameras at once, on the Fire TV Stick? Tinycam Pro seems to have a limit of 4, if I am not mistaken
I've only really used TinyCam Pro so far. Nothing else seems to work with as many products so...you're going to be limited to what they have. But the number is 16 I believe.
Hi, I'm trying to connect my fire stick and blink cameras. I can't find the 'Tinycam pro' that you mentioned. Can you give me the proper spelling and/or a link. Thank you.
With Blink, you should be able to just ask to bring up any of the cameras. However, TinyCam Pro is the name of the app and you should be able to find it by searching Tiny or TinyCam. Maybe it's gone now...but I still have it!
I side loaded the app for SCW camera system using the -g flag thru my laptop. With an orientation app now I am able to use an old firestick as my NVR display.
@@AutomateYourLife One of the few video surveillance systems not ban by the NDAA due to privacy concerns over Chinese cameras. I am sure it would work with other brands like night owl, lorex, etc.
My point is that you are right. These firesticks have a lot of potential. As far as having problems with sideloads. If you have an Amazon firetv with OS 6, you must ad the -g flag to make it work if it needs permissions (sideloading with a PC). Having an orientation apk will fix most display problems. A Bluetooth keyboard/mouse will make it easy to control.
Yeah so you should be able to find them on the app store on your fire stick! Lots of free games are there now, and a few paid. The remote works for many of them, but you can also just get a Bluetooth controller and pair it!
Do you know how to get rid on the vignette that the firetv puts on the blink camera feed? When I watch my blink outdoor camera it has a darker border around the edges top and bottom.
Wow, one can do a lot with this thing. It would be nice if you ORGANIZED your presentation so that one could leap over what they know cold and get to the items they might like to learn about. For instance, do you have to 'sign up' with Amazon in order to use this thing to watch TV? If so, what does it cost?
This is Hidden Tips and Tricks, not beginner's guide to Fire Sticks. That means there's no portion about signing up with Amazon or basic setup stuff like that. Sorry Norm. If you want that, look for a basic setup tutorial! Here's an old one we did: ua-cam.com/video/yjNTbzxuwmk/v-deo.html
Thanks, Nice info. is there any way that we can setup, that run couple of tv shows one after another directly without any human intervention (considering old age people), please suggest if any.
I have two Apple BlueTooth keyboards. One is programed to control the AppleTV, the other controls the Amazon FireStick. One of those was only $5.00 at Goodwill!
Hey I got a question for you I've got a Toshiba Fire TV smart TV for 3L f421 u19 it was made in 2018 of October I'm having an issue with the sleep app on the TV it keeps shutting off and then he has a hard time getting it back to Xfinity what is your answer Obi-Wan Kenobi!!?? This guy has got memory issues and I've been trying to fix his system it keeps shutting off and I don't know how to get to the settings on the TV can you make a video about that, I don't have a manual for the TV where can I download the manual or if you got a quick fix I would really appreciate it thanks for all your help.
Great idea about being able to use a Echo device near where you are sitting as a microphone. It would be helpful to explain how to "link" that Echo to a Fire TV Stick or Cube.
Great idea! I was trying to figure that out a couple nights ago so I don't have to turn my TV up or wear earbuds to keep from disturbing everyone in the house.
Sassy if your hell bent on it check out techdoctoruk channel. He has videos on it but if you dont have a degree in computer engineering or a very high level of it its best to avoid it.
Sassy if you are using a 4k firestick or 2gen fire tv box then go over to the TechDoctoruk UA-cam channel he has a video on how to get rid of all that pre-loaded stuff....... it’s very easy to do all you have to do is download an application....I did it on my fire sticks and they work perfect no problems at all... the name of the video is called SPEED UP FIRESTICK BY REMOVING AMAZON BLOATWARE..
New Firestick stopped working after a week. Ordered new industrial batteries that haven't arrived yet. Tried to reset remote, but I'm not techy. Could it just be bad batteries?
I am thinking of setting up my TV by purchasing 2x Echo 3rd Gens. Can I put them at the rear end of my living room? Will the sound also play from the TV or only on the speakers?
You speak almost as fast as I do! Appreciate the information, but for the novice I needed to slow you down or relisten as I couldn't catch what you were saying. What I did understand, I appreciated!
Hey Karen - Sorry! I have been moving a little quicker lately that's for sure. Hopefully you can rewatch and if there's something not clear just ask :)

Wow, one can do a lot with this thing. It would be nice if you ORGANIZED your presentation so that one could leap over what they know cold and get to the items they might like to learn about. For instance, do you have to 'sign up' with Amazon in order to use this thing to watch TV? If so, what does it cost?
This is Hidden Tips and Tricks, not beginner's guide to Fire Sticks. That means there's no portion about signing up with Amazon or basic setup stuff like that. Sorry Norm. If you want that, look for a basic setup tutorial! Here's an old one we did: ua-cam.com/video/yjNTbzxuwmk/v-deo.html
Love the idea of the tiny can app. Great video
Thanks Charlie!
What dryer sensor is that?
Sadly, it's a dead company
Where can I find Fire TV Stick 2nd generation apps and info?
Apps can be downloaded right on the device. You just have to go to the apps section :)
Thank you very much I didn’t know about the remote on your phone so I have now downloaded the app
Stay safe
Glad I could help! Enjoy!
What timestamp please?
@@tomasotreasaigh111 I can't find the Airscreen app you talking about. Do you think it has changed name or the look of the icon?
where can i buy one of the smartdry magnet inside the washer machine
Right here: amzn.to/2HketGz (Amazon affiliate link)
@@AutomateYourLife can't find the item on amazon...SmartDry magnet
Is it possible to connect Arlo cameras to a Firestick?
You should be able to ask Alexa to bring up your Arlo cameras. Absolutely. Use the Alexa app :)
#sharethelove. Great vidoe keep them up
Will do sir!
Great tips! I have that remote app and it’s perfect. Especially the keyboard option, for typing in email addresses and passwords.
Yes it does! Love that!
Thanks, Nice info. is there any way that we can setup, that run couple of tv shows one after another directly without any human intervention (considering old age people), please suggest if any.
If you're in the US, try a watch party!
I have two Apple BlueTooth keyboards. One is programed to control the AppleTV, the other controls the Amazon FireStick. One of those was only $5.00 at Goodwill!
OH that's a good one! Also, little jealous of the price there....
Can you explain how to use a Mi Box 4 S & a Logitech 920 webcam with Zoom Meetings on a TV. Tried it but got no audio sound when trying to meet.
Sorry, no...I don't have the Mi Box
What about a echo studio instead of two speakers.?
Amazing choice! Go for it!
Hey I got a question for you I've got a Toshiba Fire TV smart TV for 3L f421 u19 it was made in 2018 of October I'm having an issue with the sleep app on the TV it keeps shutting off and then he has a hard time getting it back to Xfinity what is your answer Obi-Wan Kenobi!!?? This guy has got memory issues and I've been trying to fix his system it keeps shutting off and I don't know how to get to the settings on the TV can you make a video about that, I don't have a manual for the TV where can I download the manual or if you got a quick fix I would really appreciate it thanks for all your help.
I'm sorry...I'm not sure what's going on there and it would be reaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllyyyy hard to diagnose from here.
Great idea about being able to use a Echo device near where you are sitting as a microphone. It would be helpful to explain how to "link" that Echo to a Fire TV Stick or Cube.
Can do Frank! Will do, even :)
Great idea! I was trying to figure that out a couple nights ago so I don't have to turn my TV up or wear earbuds to keep from disturbing everyone in the house.
I have an fire TV and I'm wondering do they have a camera in the middle of the TV because I feel like I'm been watched
That will depend on the brand. Not all Fire TVs are made by Amazon
Is there a way to rid your FS of the junk that Amazon puts on? I don’t use them & they take up space....ty
Not that I've used, sorry Sassy!
Yes there is but i wouldn't advise it. You have to go into the software and it causes more issues than fixes. So just avoid it IMO
Sassy if your hell bent on it check out techdoctoruk channel. He has videos on it but if you dont have a degree in computer engineering or a very high level of it its best to avoid it.
Sassy if you are using a 4k firestick or 2gen fire tv box then go over to the TechDoctoruk UA-cam channel he has a video on how to get rid of all that pre-loaded stuff....... it’s very easy to do all you have to do is download an application....I did it on my fire sticks and they work perfect no problems at all... the name of the video is called SPEED UP FIRESTICK BY REMOVING AMAZON BLOATWARE..
What is that usb stick that you can plug that other device in the side? And where can I get one.....
Which video doorbell did you say you had? I couldn't make out what you said. Thanks
It's a Eufy that I had!
New Firestick stopped working after a week. Ordered new industrial batteries that haven't arrived yet. Tried to reset remote, but I'm not techy. Could it just be bad batteries?
I got Alexa device but I don't know where to start my smart home and I really enjoy your videos
What's the first thing you want to automate?!
@@AutomateYourLife lights probably
Great video. Where is the link to the TinyCam Pro tutorial? Also, I couldn’t find Air Screen in the iPhone App Store. 😞
Oh! ua-cam.com/video/98diXf0BuTg/v-deo.html
Automate Your Life Thank you sir!! 😁👍🏻
Automate Your Life So, I entered my Wyze Username and PW. Got a text with the 2FA. Tinycam Pro says to enter the code. But where? 🤷🏻♂️😞
Automate Your Life Well, it appears when I exited and re-entered TinyCam Pro it then asked me for the 2FA code. All good now! Thanks again!! 😉👍🏻
I am thinking of setting up my TV by purchasing 2x Echo 3rd Gens. Can I put them at the rear end of my living room? Will the sound also play from the TV or only on the speakers?
No sorry! It's only going to play on your Echo speakers, so while you can place the speakers anywhere you won't have the TV speakers
Where do you get the memory stick with micro hdmi for Amazon sticks
I don't think I had a micro hdmi one...actually.
You speak almost as fast as I do! Appreciate the information, but for the novice I needed to slow you down or relisten as I couldn't catch what you were saying. What I did understand, I appreciated!
Hey Karen - Sorry! I have been moving a little quicker lately that's for sure. Hopefully you can rewatch and if there's something not clear just ask :)
