Wired Google TV won't turn on using Google Assistant

by mockgeek

I haven't found this precise case in several searches, so if there is a thread please link.

I have a Google TV on a Sony Bravia (I know it has Android TV built in, but customization like renaming the device is non-functional). I had the Google TV connected via my Wi-Fi network, but recently bought the appropriate ethernet power adapter for the device. While it was connected via Wi-Fi, I could give voice commands to Google Assistant to turn on that device. Now, however, I cannot turn it on using voice. (I can turn it off with a voice command.)

I found one post suggesting a static IP address for the device. I have tried that without success.

I have a separate device for my firewall which feeds into both a wired network and to my wireless access point, a Netgear WAC-124. The firewall appliance controls DHCP for the wireless access point as well as the rest of the network. And since the device detects a wired connection, it has rendered my wireless configuration disabled. I apparently cannot have both wired and wireless configuration simultaneously active.

Has anyone else encountered this and is there a solution other than removing the wired option? Is this a known "feature"/flaw with Google TV?

It's got nothing to do with wired.

I've had my Google TV Chromecast setup on my Roku TCL 6 series, all Home devices are set to default TV being Google TV

Last week they all say "turning on the Roku"

Yeah, not sure what's going on

Mine is wired too

Power circle everything, from the smart speakers to the router to the Chromecast. Try specifying the name of the device and make sure the device isn’t also connecting wirelessly at the same time.

Mine is wired and I have no problem when I say “hey google turn on the living room tv” to my WiFi connected Nest hubs. My network is pretty simple. One router and four switches.
