How do I control a group of HEOS-enabled devices using Alexa?
Group your HEOS-enabled devices using the HEOS app and use an Alexa-friendly name. Once they are grouped, Alexa voice commands will control the group as a whole. You just need to use any individual member name of the group and Alexa will control it as a whole.
For example: Bedroom and Patio are grouped in HEOS app. If you want to control the whole group, you just need to request using individual member “Bedroom” or “Patio” (e.g. Alexa, volume up on Bedroom”), and Alexa will control it as a whole.
If you want to play audio content from only one HEOS-enabled device in the group, you must ungroup the device within the HEOS app.
Can I ask Alexa to switch input to HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc. from my AV receiver?
HDMI switching by number is supported by the HEOS Bar and HEOS AVR for now.
For all other HEOS-enabled AV receivers, you may say the following:
Can I request Alexa to turn off my TV that is connected to AV receiver?
At this time, you must power on/off your TV separately.
Can I request Alexa to control video content (e.g. play next chapter of blu-ray/DVD, play/pause movie, etc) playing out from my Denon/Marantz AVR? )
At this time, the HEOS Home Entertainment skill only supports HEOS-enabled devices and the currently available Alexa-supported music services. The skill does not support control of devices made by other manufacturers outside of the family of HEOS-enabled brands.
When I use my Denon/Marantz AVR, Volume/Power Off commands sometimes don’t work in some of my inputs.
Please make sure you are in Main Zone of your AVR. Currently, we do not support the control of other zones with voice commands.
