PLEASE HELP! KD55AF8 - Google Home turning tv on

by Ttookkyyoo

So I love using my Google Home to turn off the TV and change the volume etc. but around 2 months into owning the tv it seems that the ability to turn on the Tv with the google home/assistant has stopped working.

​

It seems to work if the Tv has recently just been turned off (as if theres a 15min cool off or something), but if it's been off for a while, you have to use the remote. This means when asking the google home to play music via Spotify, it can't find the device and fails to launch.

​

Anyone know what's going on here and if there is some 15 minute standby before being fully switched off - is there a way to disable it?

Make sure you have your devices/rooms set-up properly in the Google home app.

Is the TV connected with cable od wifi? For me using a cable helped.

There's a setting for remote start for the TV. I believe you may need to go through settings, initial setup up. Go through the prompts again and then choose remote start "on"
