I’ve owned a Samsung Soundbar HW-Q70T since Dec. 2020. Up until about a year ago, it worked great integrated with Alexa via SmartThings. I would tell Alexa to play music on it and she would, no problem. But something changed last year and I’ve been unable to get Alexa to recognize it as a speaker ev…

[image] Samsung HW-Q80R Stopped working with Alexa about two weeks ago Devices & Integrations My Samsung HW-Q80R Soundbar stopped working two weeks ago. I used to be able to say “Alexa, play music on soundbar” and it would play on the soundbar. It looks like the Smartthi…

Sorry, no idea. The only thing what I can do is tagging @Lars , the developer of the current Alexa integration. I do not use Amazon Echo devices, neither have a Samsung Soundbar, so I don’t have any experience with the issue. There were some other topics where people had similar issues with the Goo…

Hi Daniel, I am sorry to hear you are having issues. The regular SmartThings skill allows for playback commands (play, pause, next, previous), volume, input source etc. That means you can say “play on living room soundbar” and that will perform the same action as if you pressed play on the remote c…

Lars, thank you for the help. It is the weirdest thing… After a year of my soundbar integration with Alexa not functioning correctly and me finally posting on this site as a last resort to find some kind of solution… All of a sudden it started working again. I now have a second entry for my soundba…

Hi Lars. For some reason the detailed, thoughtful response with appropriate screenshot that I made yesterday morning was flagged for review by a moderator and has still not been released. Bottom line is, the sound bar is working now with Alexa. If the mods release my original message from yesterda…

I’ve got this soundbar as well, and while I am not having an issue with Alexa that I know of, it seems that I cannot make a change to the source from a Routine like I can with my Samsung Q65 TV. Neither soundbar device shows that option within Routines, but the original “soundbar” device does show i…

Hi guys I have a Samsung q800b sound bar. It has Alexa built in and I have followed the process of adding it to SmartThings and then linking it ti Alexa app. But even though the Alexa app sees it as an echo device, the sound bar does not respond to me at all. A friend of mine has the q800a and h…

The same problem, I bought a q800b and Alexa worked for a couple of hours. I accidentally set a timer and it started playing at night, I started clicking on the buttons on the soundbar and the sound turned off, after that Alexa stopped responding. I tried everything possible, re-install applications…
