  • Опубліковано 20 лис 2017
  • Take a look at how to get the HEOS Home Entertainment Skill up and running with your Amazon Alexa device, so you can begin controlling your HEOS-enabled receiver or other HEOS devices with your voice. Play a specific song. Select an artist or playlist. Choose your room or HEOS group. Do it all with your voice! You can even adjust volume, pause and skip tracks, mute and more. Plus, power on/off your receiver, switch inputs (Blu-ray, DVD, Media Player, etc.) and enjoy other common remote control commands for all of your home theater.
    To begin using Alexa voice commands, open the Alexa app and select “Skills.” Search for the HEOS Home Entertainment skill and then enable it. Then, go to Smart Home in the Alexa app menu and choose Devices and Discover. Or just say “Alexa, discover my devices.”
    With the HEOS Home Entertainment skill and Alexa taking your HEOS-enabled device to new heights, streaming music and controlling home theater with your voice has never been easier. All you have to do is ask.

    When selecting the device to assign a more convenient name to it, can you select a particular ZONE (instead of an entire device)?
    I have two bathrooms wired with stereo speakers and I consider getting the X4400 receiver to power them along with the 5.1 setup in the living room. I would really like to be able to go take a shower without having to take a smartphone with me to control the playback.

  • @hawkins55
    @hawkins55 Рік тому

    My experience with HEOS has not been best. But it is convenient to play music & control the power, volume, sound field, etc. in the same app. Problem is I subscribe to Qobuz and HEOS does not support it and does not seem to have plans to support it. Don't want to use Airplay to play the HiRes music from Qobuz. I recently have been on trial subscription to Amazon and have been streaming Amazon via HEOS a lot. Unfortunately once the trial is over, I will quit HEOS again and return to Room and an external player connected to the Marantz. Will HEOS ever support Qobuz? Also, will HEOS improve on user experience? How about inclue back arrow in all screens and just improve the back arrow to back step to do exactly the, to back exactly one step, instead of backing you all the way out to the sources?

      @yourdailyphix8832 4 роки тому +1

      Sylvain Mino I know you can set the receiver (4500h for me as well) to turn on at a set volume, mine is 18 just so I know it won’t blast my ears if I turn it on and something is currently playing. But as far as creating the type of routine your thinking of, I do not think it is possible as of right now. :/

    • @tosmjspakonc
      @tosmjspakonc 3 роки тому

      Easy...go to alexa app and create a routine...
      Make sure you set "tv" to turn on, in settings on denon, make sure it gets hdmi cec and set start volume to 50...
      Now when your TV turns on (or bluray) it will turn on your theater like you wanted. When I say start my tv, it also turns on dimmed led lights for ambiance, turns off other lights and closes the blinds...so you can do whatever you want. .
      Or just default to bluray and set to 50 and say alexa, turn on denon or however you named it...really simple

    It tells me that all of my devices are off-line. Example: I tell Alexa to play Spotify, it starts to tell me what song it's about to play then tells me that the device is offline. This applies to any of the heos devices I have. It's not offline. I can play any heos device through my Spotify app!

    When is Zone 2 and 3 control going to be added to HEOS? Only having voice control of Zone 1 is ridiculous in 2021. I payed a lot of money for a 8500H and now find out that Alexa can only see 1 zone. Anyone hoping to voice control a 2nd zone should look at other brands.
