Connect Alexa Echo As External Speaker From Linux LXDE

Connect Alexa Echo As External Speaker From Linux LXDE

I have this old E5200 Petium Duo Core machine, installed with Raspberry Pi Desktop. This machine doesn't came with bluetooth, so I just bought a cheap bluetooth dongle (Essanger bluetooth 5.1), which I don't even know will work or not, luckily it works.

These are the simple steps to connect the Alexa Echo as an external speaker through bluetooth:

1. mobile > Alexa app > Devices > [x] Echo. Then you notice the LED of the speaker is blinking.
Note: Connect the bluetooth device (the Echo speaker) from the machine.

2. RPi Desktop > Bluetooth icon (LXDE panel)

3. After connected, right clock at the sound icon, select the specific speaker.

That's all.
