Logitech Releases Alexa-Ready Beta Apps For UE Boom & Megaboom

Thanks to Amazon making Alexa open to third-party companies, we’re seeing more instances where Alexa is integrated into devices and apps. Logitech has been slowly introducing those integration into its products, like with the Logitech Harmony, and now it looks like we’re seeing more Alexa integration for the company’s UE Boom and Megaboom speakers.

This support comes in the form of beta apps that Logitech released for the speakers. For those unfamiliar, Logitech’s UE speakers come with an accompanying app that allows users to manage speaker settings and also connect multiple speakers at once. With the latest beta, Logitech has introduced Alexa support.

All users have to do is update the firmware on their speakers, log into their Amazon account to get Alexa working, after that they’re good to go. Note that since this is a beta, not all features have been enabled or are working yet. For example the main app’s Alarm feature is one of those that isn’t working, along with tap-to-talk for Siri/Google Assistant, so if you do use those features then maybe you’ll want to pass on the beta for now.

However if you want to check out how Alexa might come in handy when used with the speakers, then head on over to the Google Play Store for the UE Boom and UE Megaboom beta apps.
