S61a soundbar alexa group

[Members_n1zmI5v]

Hi everyone

Am loving my S61a soundbar but I bought this to use in a bedroom to replace two echo speakers thinking I would be able to control my whole room in the same way as I can with the echos, turning on and off lights etc. It however doesn't appear there is a way to add the soundbar to an alexa group, which is a shame as it now means I have to keep my echo on and turn the alexa features off on the soundbar. 

Has anybody had the same problem, or am I being dumb?

@Members_n1zmI5v: Do you have a Samsung smartphone? If so, download and install the Smartthings app (or check the Samsung folder in the Apps Drawer). From here, enter the Alexa account by following the steps in the app, and then log into the service. To find out more, please check out pages 28-31 of the user manual via the link below.

You have the option of using the built in Alexa features, or adding the soundbar for use with Alexa products, such as your Echo.
