Can I use an Alexa speaker group?

This integration supports a single Alexa speaker. Do not select it expecting synchronised Alexa multi-room playback.

Alexa cannot link or play

Check the device code, that the skill is enabled, and that the speaker responds to other Alexa requests. If it still fails, tell support the Alexa device model and the exact response.

Still stuck? Contact support with your phone model, app version, A2D2 software version, router or speaker model, and the exact message you see. Never send your Wi-Fi password.

Alexa says it is playing, but there is no sound

Check the source and Echo volume. Note the exact response, Echo model, whether Alexa+ is enabled, how long audio plays and whether it stops suddenly or fades, then contact support.

The A2D2 Alexa screen shows your linking code; Echo devices are controlled from Alexa and do not appear as selectable speakers here.
