Hey all

I recently got a sony a80j for my dad to enjoy some youtube, netflix, movies, shows etc. However what I am having trouble is using the google assistant. It works but it seems limited - i could say the crown and it would show the series, some youtube findings and results from the web browser. What I want to do however is to simply show the crown from netflix which is already installed and etc. I made it work by downloading google home on my phone and speaking to the assistant there like - play the crown on my tv. Any idea if I can make it work without the need for a phone so simply by speaking to the remote?
