I tried to watch your video, but MY Alexa kept hearing your commands and telling me she couldn't do that.
Same thing happened when I watched "Mr. Robot". Character kept talking to her Echo and I had to say, "Shut up Alexa...she's not talking to you".
So, added the Dish skill, went to my Hopper menu and found the Alexa option, got the code, enter it into the app, my Hopper says my Dish account is connected with Amazon, I hit the next button on the app, and I get Activation Code unsuccessful and to try the Get Code option again. Did that 4 times in a row, with the same results. Any help?
Also, will this only control my Hopper 3 or can it also operate my 4K Joey?
Did you try to use Alexa anyway? ....Alexa controlled sprinkler controller.
Now that's something I'd find useful! Brand/model?
That would be nice to have. I have my sprinkler system rigged up with a remote control. Comes in super handy when working the zones during maintenance and blowing out the water before winter time.The 12 station version is $20 more. Amazon product ASIN B01D15HOTU
I don't have a sprinkler system but what does station mean exactly?
I see it as a replacement for my existing Rain Bird control panel. It's hard wired, and you can set a schedule like you normally would, with the added wifi benefits of changing the schedule remotely through an app or Alexa. Also, tell it to stop while running, or start a particular zone at any time "Alexa, tell Orbit to water zone 2 for 20 minutes"Ok. I'm just not "getting" it. I thought this would send a wifi signal to a valve on a hose bib to turn on and off the water.
I gather that is not the case
How does this control the water? Does it assume you already have an automated system that is hard wired?

You won't keep the Hopper paired with Alexa for long. The Dish skill overwrites "Alexa stop" functionality which is totally unacceptable.
If you mean while a recording is playing and you have Alexa doing something else did you try another term like END? Or Alexa Stop music etc? Also that's how skills work if one is being used then the terms will apply to the skill. Unless I'm not understanding what you mean. In addition if you are using a different Echo it would be totally independent.
Any idea if Alexa is able to control a Joey? Daughter has MS and it would be a big plus if she could change channels by voice command.
To my knowledge it must be a Hopper or Wally. If that is true wouldn't be worth it to get the Hopper where your daughter is and put the joey where the Hopper was?
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. In my case, moving the Hopper isn't really feasible for our home's setup. Guess I'll just hope that Dish will consider a way to integrate Joey with Alexa.
