Adding Alexa devices to Dashboard

Is there a way to add Alexa devices to the dashboard?

Hi @Bud_Odd_Jobs, do you mean adding Echo speakers to dashboard? If so, you can add them to SmartThings/Hubitat using the community developed DTH - Echo Speaks.

See the post below for more details about adding Echo to dashboard and even using Rule Engine to change the music played on Echo.

Create "Jukebox" Dashboard with Album Art for Echo or Sonos Devices

I have been using my dashboard to play music to my Echo speakers for sometime, and recently updated my “jukebox” dashboard after the Album Art tile release to give it a visual upgrade. So I am sharing my setup here for those who may be interested, and I am also including the steps for Sonos speaker too. Jukebox dashboard with album art, media player control and music tiles to change the playlist/station [jukebox_new_5] SmartThings no longer supports Echo Speaks since Sep 20…

Wow! Thanks James. That sure was a lot of steps to set up the Echo Speaks! Not for the faint at heart. Made it through without a problem. Greatly appreciate your help! You are awesome!!

I guess the echo speaks no longer works, right?

For smartthings you are correct - Samsung close Echo Speaks due to the resources required to maintain it. Tonesto originally was going to produce a Lite version, but due to time constraint and complications he decided to move on. Last I knew it was still supported on Hubitat. So far this is the only smart app that I have lost that I miss. Hopefully more do not follow suit (specifically Blue Iris Fusion).
