All you need to control your Fire TV device in this manner is&nbsp;a supported Alexa-enabled device and a shared Wi-Fi connection. To control your Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, or Fire TV Edition television&nbsp;through your Alexa-enabled device, you first need to link them together. You cannot use certain Alexa-enabled apps and devices to control your Fire TV, such as the Alexa app, the Amazon Shopping app, and Amazon Fire tablets.
