Connect ANY Bluetooth Speaker to Amazon Alexa (Echo Dot) 

Some Bluetooth speakers don't connect to the echo so simply. When I saw ANY in the title, I assumed this video would be helpful for those speakers. Very misleading and unhelpful.

is there a way to play sound from both of the devices, like from the alexa and from the connected speaker?

You are STILL the man!! Here it is 2 years later and your video is STILL helping us with this issue!!!!!

is there any way to have them play at the same time. like if i have a subwoofer not made by alexa

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ru-vid.comUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

Might be a shot in the dark but is there anyway for Alexa to speak through the dot but still play music through the sound bar? Great vid by the way👍🏻

Nice vid. Wonder if there is a way to have the sound play from both the Alexa and the Soundbar at the same time for a surround sound effect.

Thanks a lot for the video. I was wondering if we can use both EQHO and Bluetooth speaker at the same time...

Lifesaver, thank you!! Was going nuts listening to a tiny echo dot when I have nice speakers but no way to voice command them

Good info So if I can I add a 5.1 soundbar, can it be BT connected to 2 separate devices .....at the same time and stay connected BT? Thanks good video

Is the music streaming done in the echo and the music signal is transmitted to the sound bar via bluetooth, or is the streaming done on your sound bar itself? It makes the difference, because the latter would deliver better audio quality.

Very nice I had an old home theater added. And It broke, so I got a new one. And after a while I forgot how to pair it. That was spot on, subbed.

Do you have to have it connect each time you want to use it? Does the Visio sound bar turn off or is the Bluetooth connected all the time? Thinking about setting this up in my garage and font want to have to turn on the sound bar and tell it to connect each time. Hope the questions make sense.

Hi. I have two echo dots 3rd gen paired in stereo mode and when I connect them to bt speakers one of the dots is still on. Is there a way to mute the dot? I want only bt speakers to work. Thanks

When alexa couldn't connect to my new speakers, amazon sent me this link and its done now. All thanks to you👍🙏

But you still have to manually turn on the speaker tho right??

Is it possible to play through both the Echo and a non Echo speaker at the same time? I have a Klipsch the 3 speaker in my living room and my Alexa in my Kitchen. I would like them act as a speaker network.

Hey, I’m using a Bose sound link mobile speaker ||. It’s of course powered by Bluetooth but Alexa can’t find it at all. Dunno what to do

Great video man. Really helped. But was just wondering can you ask Alexa to turn the speaker on and off?

I'm asking myself if I can connect the echo dot to a bluetooth speaker that normally turns off if there's no music played (Teufel Rockster Cross). Ive hear rumors that the echo sends silent signals to prevent this from happening but I'm not sure if that's true...

Question? Can I have my vizio speaker sync to both my TV and Alexa Dot ? How does this effect it? Thank you Heath

Is it possible to connect both. Echo and bluetooth speaker?

I need help to figuring out how to play music on the echo along side with the speakers I’ve paired.

can I connect Bluetooth or wired speakers, and have only music streamed to speakers, and Alexa commands go through build in speaker. reason - i have it paired with Ring and Alexa in living room tels me about open/closed door ect, but when I will turn of my 5.1 Alexa will communicate to bt or wire and i have no notification heard.

Good one my friend. 100% working on my LG soundbar..echo dot 3 here. Very crisp tutorial. Thanks.

I have connected my echo dot 3rd gen via bluetooth to my desktop. When I go to pause a RU-vid video - it will stay paused for around 10 seconds and then automatically unpause itself and play the video. It does the same unpausing itseling for spotify and other media on my desktop pc? I am running windows 10 pro and only had this issue since connecting the echo via bluetooth. If I connect the echo via spotify connect (which runs off wifi) this issue doesn't happen. But I want to use the dot for all audio coming from my desktop via bluetooth. Please help!

One quick question. In Sony X85J, I enabled Alexa using Echo dot. Getting all commands executed (on, off, volume, pause, play etc) EXCEPT change of channels. It takes the command but DO NOT execute it. Any reason? ? ? Is it not enabled in INDIA??~ Have seen few utube video of outside world, there it works.

Can the echo dot turn on the speaker? Or we need to manually turn on the speaker before we use

Honestly can't really do anything without my echo dot. Very convenient plus with a competent mediatek chip

First off Great video. I just subscribed. I have a gen4 dot that I connect via Bluetooth to my iPad so I can play RU-vid music (I like the music videos playing in the background when I’m working). I want to purchase a better quality sound system for my office and would like it to also be connected to the two via bluetooth. Can I have audio into the dot from the iPad and out to the sound system all via Bluetooth?

I have setup with bluetooth speaker, but sound from my echo & bluetooth speaker, how to disable sound from echo, just bluetooth speaker? Thanks

Tried with the Bluetooth Logitech Z207 speakers, and the alexa app doesnt find it.

I have a Philips BT speaker. I can pair my phone to it, NP. Like in 3 seconds. But then I unpair, forget it; the blue-light starts blinking on the speaker. I log into Alexa, tell her ADD DEVICE, BT Speaker, she never sees/pairs the speaker. WTH? Are there other steps I can take?

Been wanting to find this out for ages. Very helpful, thanks. Can you at music through both at the same time

Can you use any blue tooth sound bar?

After I connect my Bluetooth speaker to my Alexa, it plays for a few minutes and gets disconnected from wifi. This only happens when I connect my bluetooth speaker. There is no interruption when the songs are playing on my Echo dot speaker.

Not showing my soundbar in alexa app, why?

Can a bose s1 pro be connected to echo dot

Can the echo connect to Samsung r650 ?

thank you so much so helpful 🙏🙏

Informative and straightforward...

Thank you! It worked!

Its not working with my zeb sound bar

What if there is a pairing code?

Thank you but I have an Altec Lansing that disagrees with everything you just said LOL Won't connect.

When I keep my Echo dot on a rough surface, it gets dusty and scratchy. For protection and a unique look I applied an ebony wood skin from gadgetshieldz.

Thnx for the video it was informative

Doesn't really work for me. It connects just fine, but now whenever I ask Alexa a questions, it mutes my Bose speakers when responding, for whatever reason, which thus mutes it's own response. So I'll ask "How's the weather?" And Alexa will mute the speakers, to then respond to my question through those speakers, but obviously no sound comes out.

My app does not show Bluetooth as an available setting to choose from 😭

Thanks for this

Thank you

Anyone have a Bluetooth speaker setup with multiple speakers? Maybe 4 speakers? Thanks.

Thanks

Thanks! You came through with this video!
