Anyone have any ideas on how to get Dot to play nice with a Bluetooth device? I have a BlueGate RXT transmitter/receiver that I have plugged into a non-Bluetooth speaker, but Dot can't see it. Dot tells me to use the Alexa app for a new device; in the app, the BlueGate shows up in the list of available speakers, but when I click on it, Dot and the app tell me it can't pair.

I was able to pair Dot with my little shower speaker with no trouble. And I've successfully paired the BlueGate with other devices before, and when I tried last night to newly pair it with the Fire tablet, it worked fine. It seems to have a compatibility issue with the Dot, although I looked up the specs, and it should work. Anyone have any ideas? (I did contact BlueGate support and am waiting for a reply.) Or is anyone using an external Bluetooth receiver that works with Dot? Thanks.
