OK Google - would like to voice this to a remote TV box

by SkEvol

Hey folks I've got a question for the community.

A lot of android boxes now obviously run lollipop and beyond, and the Google search bar/voice search + OK Google can work throughout the OS.

Whatever box I end up getting (be it shield, NP or NP2 (if there is one)), id likely be controlling it with my phone primarily. (Because at the moment I'm thinking full android would be my choice).

So, what I'm trying to achieve... is be able to speak into my phone 'OK Google' and remotely trigger the voice search on the remote android box, and then continue by speaking my search query into the phone. Do you think this is achievable?

Because if I end up going with full android, I might not be using the NP or Shield remote controls.

This is done through the Android TV remote and any official Android TV.

OK. Thanks for the answers guys. So now I know how it can be done on the stock AndroidTV OS.

now, if I do choose to run full android on any of these boxes.... are there any solutions out there to do what I'm asking?

This can be done in the TV remote app, but cannot be activated through the normal hotword.
