Re: TCL Roku suddenly stopped responding to Amazon Echo AND Google Home commands

Jump to solution

Please, if anyone finds a solution or fix to this problem please post it immediately. It is 7:45 p.m. here in New York City and I cannot re-link my Echo devices to my TCL Roku TV as of yesterday, May 30, 2021. Many people are having this problem! I think Customer Service can be reached through chat and live person phone. I'm trying to determine if it's TCL, Roku, or Amazon Echo devices. I hope someone, including my own research, can identify and fix this ridiculous situation!

Re: Cannot re-enable Roku skill in Alexa

It just dawned on me but this morning on CNBC I saw them speculating about Roku stock and said Roku has it's own device coming out like Google and Amazon so get us to buy their smart assistant?🤔

Me too - would be nice if either roku or Alexa acknowledged the problem and provided an estimated time to fix

It's actually doing it with my Roku stick in another room as well. I got into a different account and tried it with my Streaming Stick + and I get the same error. So it's not just the TVs, it's the Alexa/Roku app connection for any roku device

I think it's the Roku/Alexa connection. Tested it with my streaming stick and it won't connect, same exact error.

I returned the TV and got a new one and same problem. It must be a software issue with the bigger TVs. They shouldn’t be advertising Alexa compatible though.

Nope - i've got 5 alexa devices & a fire tv & dozens of smart devices all programmed to work together perfectly.  I'll ditch the roku tv on craigs list & get another fire tv before bringin in another box i've gotta talk to.  They designed the tv to work with alexa & they should honor that commitment.

That'd be like Ford coming out with a car that used to run on any brand gas but after a software update, you now can only fill up at a Ford gas station or the car wont run.

Funny - something made me hesitate when I bought the Hisense 4k Roku tv vs spending more on a 4k FireTV, but it was such a bang for the buck.  Now starting to wonder if it was more a bang to my **bleep** as i might wind up with a not-so-smart smart tv....

Yes my roku and echos will not link as well. I have tried many many times today to get them linked again and it gives me the same error. I would love to know how to fix this.

Mine was not working either earlier this evening, but right now (midnight central time, I guess its now June 1st) it finally worked and the link was successful, so roku must have fixed their issue.
