How to create a wireless Bluetooth speaker group with Lithe Audio Bluetooth speaker, Subwoofer and an Amazon device (Echo).

This article explains how to create a wireless group through Amazon Alexa using the Lithe Audio Bluetooth speaker, Wi-Fi  Micro Subwoofer and an Amazon Echo. This will allow the Bluetooth speaker and Subwoofer to link together wirelessly to play at the same time. 

1. The Lithe Audio Bluetooth speaker need to be linked to an Amazon device as the primary speaker. This is done within the Amazon Alexa APP. 
  1. Select the Amazon device Eg. Echo Dot
  2. Select Bluetooth connection, Connect a device.
  3. Choose the Lithe Audio Speaker. Please note: the name says Office Test but default will be named Lithe Audio LBT2. Here is a link to an article on how to change the speaker name. 
  4. The speaker will show as connected




2. The Lithe Audio Subwoofer needs to be added to your Amazon Account, this is done within the Lithe Audio APP.

Here is a step by step on how to add the Subwoofer with an Amazon account. 
  1. Select the Sub woofer 
  2. Within Source Menu Select Amazon Alexa 
  3. Select sign in with Amazon 
  4. Allow the sign in, Continue
  5. Allow the connection with Amazon, Continue
  6. Click Sign in to Amazon 
  7. Input your Amazon account info, click Sign in 
  8. Allow Lithe to access the voice service
  9. Select Done (top right hand corner) Do not press Log out 




3. Now the Bluetooth speaker has been added to the Amazon device and the subwoofer has been added to your Amazon account they can both now be linked together within a group so all will play at the same time.  
  1. Select the + icon 
  2. Select Group
  3. Select Combine rooms or groups 
  4. Select what the name of the room will be or create a name
  5. Choose another room to link to or skip to create a new group 
  6. Choose speakers 
  7. Select the sub woofer and Echo Dot
  8. Select if the group always plays or only when you say the group name
  9. Select Done



Now that group has been created, when you give the command to the Echo, "Alexa play music in Test room group,"  all speakers within that group will play. 

Please Note: The subwoofer volume control can only be controlled through the Lithe Audio APP. This is due to the Bluetooth speaker being linked to the Echo as the primary speaker; therefore, when Alexa is instructed to decrease the volume, Alexa will only turn down the Bluetooth speaker not the complete group.
