What you need to know

Assign a radio station to an Alexa remote button in SoundTick. Tap it, continue to Amazon, sign in if asked and select your Echo. Say “Yes” when that Echo asks to open the SoundTick skill.

Before you begin

  • Have an online Echo linked to your Amazon account and a SoundTick build with Alexa station handoff enabled.
  • Amazon marketplace, skill availability and station-stream compatibility can affect this flow. Keep your Amazon password and verification codes private.

Save a station and send it to your Echo

01

Save an Alexa button

Open a remote button’s assignment options in SoundTick, choose Alexa, select a radio station and save.

02

Continue to Amazon

Tap your saved Alexa button and continue past the reminder. Amazon opens in your browser; sign in if your session is not already valid.

03

Select your Echo

Choose the Echo you want on Amazon’s device-selection page. Wait for the spoken question on that Echo.

04

Say Yes on your Echo

When the selected Echo asks to open the SoundTick skill, say “Yes”. Listen for the station on that device.

If Amazon or your Echo needs attention

  • If asked to sign in again, complete Amazon’s sign-in and verification in the browser, then choose your Echo.
  • If your Echo is missing, confirm that it is online and linked to the Amazon account you used.
  • If the station does not play, retry another station and check skill availability for your Amazon marketplace. An open browser page alone does not confirm playback.

Spotify on Echo

Select your Echo inside Spotify when it is available. This is separate from sending a radio station through the SoundTick Alexa skill.
