Can I Turn on My TV With Google Home?
You can turn on your TV with Google Home by using Google Chromecast. You will need two things to do this, a TV with CEC support and a Google Chromecast dongle. The CEC or Consumer Electronics Control, in short, allows your TV to be powered on through HDMI devices such as a streaming player.
Can Google Home Mini Control My TV?
You’ll want to do a test run and say either “OK, Google, turn on my TV" or, “OK, Google, power on the TV.” The iOS method is going to be identical, as the Google Home App is unchanged for the Apple smartphone and tablet devices. Once the TV is on, you can use Google Home to control the Chromecast with your voice. Give it different commands, such as raising and lowering the volume or opening a specific streaming app you want to watch. Your Chromecast and Google Home App will need to be on the same Wi-Fi network in order to properly work together. If you have multiple Chromecasts under the same roof, you’ll want to set one as the default TV.
Why Won’t My Google Home Turn on My TV?
A Chromecast or Google Home itself cannot control the power settings on your TV without CEC. You need to go into the settings menu and enable this option before you will be able to use Google Home to turn your TV off. CEC isn’t always referred to as the same thing depending on the TV brand, so you’ll want to keep an eye out for its other industry-recognized names as well.
