Yes you can! Just last month I purchased the Logitech Harmony Companion. Includes a remote and the hub. To use voice I added my Amazon Echo Dot to the mix. After setup: (which was not to bad however I have had Harmony's remotes before) I can now walk in the door and just say - Alexa turn on the TIVO and my 940D, Denon 4300H receiver, turn on. It then changes to correct inputs/outputs (HDMI) on everything. Then I use the remote to control the channels etc. Now if I want to watch a BD disc I just say Alexa turn on BluRay and the BD player turns on and everything changes to the correct input. Remote automatically changes to BD functions. When you are done simply say : Alexa turn off Home theater/entertainment center and everything turns off.. (Can't remember as I got it last night but it worked perfectly). This morning I said alexa turn on radio and just the denon comes on and plays the radio. When I left for work I said Alexa turn off Denon and it turned off. Took me an hour to get preliminary stuff set up. I also copied over the settings from my Harmony One remote to the new one so ALOT of work was pre done. There are some very good videos out there to help. Right now the voice is to turn off/on and change activites- play Roku/ play BD/ play TiVo etc. Also they add to Alexa skill the ability to pause and play. A couple of days ago they added things like: Alexa play Netflix and it will turn on everything it needs to and go to Netflix. You can also do that for TV. FE: Alexa play CBS. (not sure of exact words but my cousin has it working and I will set it up tonight. I think the hub may be all that you need for activites/ turn on/off etc. - Then you can use your current remote to forward, rewind etc. I will try my Harmony One to make sure it works tonight. I got the companion which has a remote and the hub. Good luck
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Got mine set up with Apple TV. Didn't come with Amazon Prime app, so I don't think it works with Echo.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am not sure. TV is exceptional by the way. Turning off is so easy with remote. Might have to experiment with the echo.
