IPTV and Smart Home Integration: Voice Control with Alexa & Google
On devices with a voice assistant, you can control some of IPTV hands-free.
Fire TV with Alexa
You can launch your IPTV app by voice and, depending on the app, search for content. See the Fire TV Cube guide for the hands-free-optimized version of this experience.
Android TV / Google TV with Google Assistant
Similar voice launch and search capability, with integration depth varying by which IPTV app you're using.
What voice control typically can't do
Moving around inside the app, like scrolling an EPG grid, still needs the remote. Voice mostly covers launching apps and basic search.
Voice control is a convenience on top of your normal setup. See standard setup guides for the core installation process.
