On the other hand, if you need to use an external Alexa device to control the TV, then you won’t have the same depth of options. In that case, the controls are much simpler: you can turn the TV on or off, change the volume or channel, switch to a different source, and use basic play, pause, and related commands. <h2> What Alexa Commands Work With Samsung TV </h2> Here are basic commands you can use with older Samsung Smart TVs: “Alexa, turn [on/off] the TV.”“Alexa, volume [up/down] on the TV.”“Alexa, channel [up/down] on the TV.”“Alexa, change channel to [number] on the TV.”“Alexa, change the input to [input name, like HDMI1] on the TV.”“Alexa, [play/pause/stop/resume] on the TV.” Samsung Smart TVs with Alexa built-in can use additional commands, such as: “Alexa, open [app name].”“Alexa, play [show name] on [app, such as Netflix].”“Alexa, search for [actor/genre/show].”“Alexa, play the new [artist name] album.”“Alexa, switch to [input name].” FAQ Why won&#39;t Alexa turn on my Samsung TV?
