Nope, I miss my old MiBox sometimes where it didn't have assistant, I used to say "play Punta Cana videos on YouTube" and I'd happily oblige.
Or "Play Shawshank Redemption" and I'd show all the different services that had it to watch, with a one-click interface to open them.
Now it's a cold turd and completely useless for me anymore.
Does it show up in the Google Home app ?
