Hey guys, Ive been struggling to find a solution for this. I just purchased a TCL 55S434 Android TV and everything is set up correctly with T-Link on, etc. The thing I cannot do is have any of my Google homes turn it off or on. Is this not available for this TV? I find this hard to believe. Any help is good!
TCL states in notes on website that it cannot yet turn on TV with voice control. Nothing else to add. Just got this TV too at best buy for $199.
I had a TCL and couldn't connect it either.
I got so sick of the TCL bugs I bought a Bravia. Connected immediately.
I came from the old TCL Roku 55S423 and had NO issues with turning it off.
Now google home app doesn’t even have the power on off button (Roku did) and I can’t use my google homes nor the google assistant on the TV to turn it on and off. This is seriously making me want to return it for the Roku version as I use this feature a lot. I was able to get it to turn on but cannot get it to turn off. Need an update on this ASAP as I see other Android TVs have no issue turning it off.
It also can’t seem to mute my TV, and annoyingly I have to say hey google set volume to 35 percent whereas the Roku I can just say set volume to 35. (Not a major issue but that one is also annoying me)
Figured Android TV would have great compatibility with Google Home assistants but not the case.
Same TV, mine would not work either until I enabled Networked Standby. Mine is connected via ethernet, though so not sure it the same setting will work when connected via WiFi.
I think I have the same TV. You can use the remote of the TV for voice search? I noticed I have only been able to turn it off and on thru my roku stick that is controlled thru my Google home. Same for my switch, when I turn it on the TV turns on and switches to the output.
