Questions about Mi Box S and Google Home

by manolo4000

Hello, I´m about to purchase a Mi Box S, but I have two questions about it.

Can I turn on the Mi Box S with google home?

If so...

does Mi box S and my smart TV start at the same time?

​

And another question is about the remote,

Does it work if the Mi box S is turned off?

if so...

Can I use it to trigger other google asistant commands?

Thank you all.

Well, you can turn on your mi box s using your Google home and your tv will turn on if hdmi-cec is enabled and supported by both devices(pretty sure mi box s is supported). You can not command your mi box using it's remote if it's off

FYI if you have trouble finding them on Google home after update, do a factory reset.
