• You Hopper or Wally must be connected to the internet to pair with your Echo Dot.
• If you have multiple Alexa devices, choose which one you would like paired.

Integrate Alexa throughout Your Home

The DISH Hopper isn’t the only thing your Echo Dot can control. Connect speakers and use Alexa to play music via Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio and TuneIn on Echo Dot. Make phone calls, send texts and set alarms, plus pair smart home devices from WeMo, Philips, Samsung, Nest and more. Skills, like the one used to control your Hopper, also include Uber and Domino’s!
