I could not get full screen from Alexa either. I tried launching a camera into full screen first, then telling Alexa to turn on (select) a different camera. But that merely selected the new camera in the background. I will probably email Ken with this feature/change request, if nobody pipes up with a work-around.I can't get mine to go full screen either. It does select the camera, but not in full screen.
I have this same issue. Can't figure it out.I could not get full screen from Alexa either.

Must be some other settings are also needed.... I can get Alexa to "select" the camera I ask for (that cam is then highlighted with a white box around it), but the camera doesn't go to full screen. When I tell Alexa to turn off the desired camera, I then lose the white highlighting box (so it does appear to select and deselect the camera...but not sure how to get the camera to go to full screen upon being selected).On the individual camera options/general page "Amazon Echo Control:", use the drop down and select "Select". Then the command "Alexa turn camera1 on" will select that camera and bring it full screen. Use "Alexa turn camera1 off" to return to normal view.
This is my exact issue. I contacted support and was told...Must be some other settings are also needed....

However, this didn't change anything and I already tried it.You can select the "solo selected camera" option ... it's a camera icon near the group selection box. For full screen, you would already have to have the all cameras window in full screen.
Thank for the tip. I just tried this and it indeed does work (the camera goes full screen when I say turn camera XXX on, and reverts back to the multi-camera view when I say turn off camera XXX).This is my exact issue. I contacted support and was told...

Ok, so I wonder why it doesn't work for me...I just tried this and it indeed does work
Yep, mine did that....and only that until I pressed the camera icon (that turned, and stayed green) on the lower left of the multi-view screen.Ok, so I wonder why it doesn't work for me...
When I say to turn on a camera it gets a white border, when i say off the border goes away. That's it.
How do you get it to turn green? Mine turns white. Doesn't go to full screen.....To clarify your tip, the camera should turn green when depressed....then things work...
The camera icon on the lower left of your multi-view screen (when left clicked by your mouse) toggles between a green camera icon and white camera icon....How do you get it to turn green? Mine turns white. Doesn't go to full screen.
I tried that. The camera icon is green, but Alexa only gives me the white border. When I mouse click on the pic it does go full screen, but Alexa's trigger doesn't. There must be another associated trigger that you have set that's directly connected to this. I do have the Amazon Echo Control set to "select".The camera icon on the lower left of your multi-view screen (when left clicked by your mouse) toggles between a green camera icon and white camera icon....

Hi,
I posted in March & still can't get Amazon Echo to discover BI. Tried on & off since then.
It simply does not find the Echo.
Followed instructions exactly many times, is not listed in Echo App or in BI.
Tried lots of setting in router, etc etc. Been lots of BI updates since.
I can see all my other devices in Echo.
I can see my phones etc listed in BI Mobile Devices but no echo.
All the same LAN etc etc. The BI is actually on a static IP & always had been.
Web server is ON as I use away from home. This PC is also set up with port forwarding, I have tried switching off the port forwarding briefly to test, I know unlikely to make a difference but been trying anything.
Toggled routers' uPNP with restarts in between.
Router is a TP-Link r470+, not that common as is a load balancing router (I don't use it as such now) but otherwise pretty standard.
Would like this to work to change profiles easily as I leave the house.
Any thoughts, I have tried everything mentioned in this thread.
