Features, settings & updates

[Locutus8]

Hello,

I am trying to setup the Roku Skill on Amazon Alexa.  My Alexa device is a Fire TV Cube 3rd generation.  The Cube comes with Alexa built-in.  My Roku is the latest revision of the Roku Ultra.  The problem is, when setting up the skill, when you are prompted to "PICK YOUR ALEXA DEVICES" to control the Roku, the Fire TV Cube does not show up in the list.  Because of this, the only selectable option on the link screen is Skip. So I select Skip and the skill finishes setting up.  However, after the skill is setup, the only thing I can tell Alexa to do is to "Turn off Roku" or "Turn on Roku."  If I try anything else such as, "Find movies on Roku" or "Launch The Roku Channel on Roku" Alexa on the Cube sends the search or launch command to the Fire TV Cube and not to the Roku Ultra.  If I issue the same commands to Alexa on my phone, they are processed on the Roku without issue.  Any ideas?

Hello,

I have already looked at the support page.  In fact, thats the instructions I'm trying to follow.  When I get to step 9 where it says LINK DEVICES, the Alexa-enabled device, in this case a Fire TV Cube, is not listed in the device list.
