Which Nuvo Player
Portfolio models support
Alexa voice control?
Which Alexa devices will
work with my Nuvo Player
Portfolio system?
Which music services support
voice control using Alexa?
I have a few zones of Nuvo
in my home. Can I use more
than one Alexa device to
control my Nuvo system?
Can I use an Alexa device that
is in one area to control a Nuvo
zone that is in a different area?
Good news, all of them will work with an
Alexa device! Please be sure that your
system has been updated to firmware
version 2019.1 and then you can begin
your set up. Instructions on how to check
your firmware version and update your
system to 2019.1 if needed are here.
You can use an Amazon Echo, Echo Plus,
Dot, Spot or Show to control your Nuvo
system using simple verbal commands.
You certainly can! You can use as many
as you wish to control your Nuvo system.
Yes! But please try not to annoy
anyone who might be in that
zone. Or use your new verbal
superpowers any way that you like.
The services below support Alexa voice
control.
Important note – any supported
service that you would like to use
with Alexa must be added to both
your Nuvo and Alexa apps.
Account note – Please take care to use
the same account in both apps when
setting up your system. If you do not, you
won’t be able to access things that may be
unique to your account, such as playlists.

Play music by referring to the room or zone name in your
Nuvo app. For example, if you have a zone called “Living
Room”, try saying “Alexa, play dance mix in the living room.”
To start listening, just ask Alexa for what you want to
hear and where you want to hear it. You must specify
the name of the Nuvo speaker or zone in which you
want to listen. You can say things like, “Alexa, play
Indie Rock Radio from Pandora in the Kitchen.”
Here are some sample commands as well as an
explanation of how you should order things in your
command to get the best results. Please note that
commands that are not Nuvo-specific will play through
your Alexa device and not your Nuvo system. These
would be things like weather, flash briefs, traffic, etc.
“Alexa, play 90s hip hop from Pandora in the kitchen”
“Alexa, play meditation mix in the bathroom”
“Alexa, set volume to 40 on the deck”
“Alexa, skip song in the kitchen”
“Alexa, mute music in the living room”
“Alexa, resume music in the living room”
As you can see, your command must follow a certain
structure. First, you have to say ‘Alexa’ or the name you
have assigned to your device for a wake-up command.
The next step is the action that you would like to occur.
Actions available will depend on the service that you are
using at that time, but generally include the following list.
The last step in your command should be where you
would like something to happen. This should be the
name of the zone where you want music to play. If you
find that Alexa cannot easily understand the name of your
zone, please consider changing the name of your zone.
Please ensure that all of your Alexa smart home devices,
including your Nuvo zones,
have unique names. If two
devices or device and zones
have the same name, your
system will have conflicts
and not operate reliably.
