If you're using lineageOS + View Assist (since you said unlocked) I'd recommend looking at Mark Watt Tech Channel in YouTube, he has a quick set up for it.

Install sendspin droid apk on your echo device (https://github.com/chrisuthe/SendSpinDroid).

Then in MA discover your echo device as a sendspin provider player. You'll need to keep the sendspin app running in the background on your echo device but should otherwise work fine with View Assist in the foreground.
