The Fire TV Stick remote has a few tricks up its sleeve, including being able to control all the devices in your home. Just like Alexa, this device belongs to the Amazon range. The latter is one of the best assistants we can have in the house, as it has the advantage of being compatible with a large number of smart devices.

Amazon has built an entire ecosystem thanks to third-party IoT devices, the Echo speakers, Alexa in Android TV televisions, and the Fire TV Stick. Do you know the Fire TV Stick trick?

You may not take full advantage of this check. The secret is in the Alexa button or the microphone button, depending on the generation you have. If you have one of these controls, you already know that you can easily control content playback. All you have to do is press the assistant button and speak a command, such as “play Stranger Things” or “change the channel”. It is also possible to give other commands to control devices in the home, but if you double tap, Alexa makes it easier for you.

That option displays an interface where we see the devices associated with our Alexa account. It’s like the “Devices” tab of the Alexa mobile app, or the Google Home Control or Apple Homekit. Everything you have linked to Alexa, such as the washing machine, lamps, plugs, smart vacuum cleaner or cameras, will appear in that menu. This turns your television into a kind of home control center.
