Fire TV Blaster is a companion device that works with your Echo and Fire TV devices to add voice control of power, volume, and input switching to your TV, soundbar, and receiver. Fire TV Blaster won't work on its own so you'll need the following (sold separately):
- A compatible Fire TV streaming device – Gives you instant access to launch and control your favorite TV shows, movies and more.
- Any Echo smart speaker or smart display – Fire TV Blaster doesn't have a microphone or speaker so it relies on Echo devices to add hands-free voice control to your compatible IR-controlled devices.

- Apps – Access to the free Fire TV and Alexa apps on Android 5.0 (or above), iOS 10 (or above) mobile device or on a Fire tablet (5th Gen or above) are required for setup.
