Love this google home app feature. Do you have to have a google streaming stick to access that functionality? I have a 2023 Sony Bravia tv with google tv built in and do not have the google home side tab as an option to view cameras, thermostat etc
Weird. My Chromecast with TV doesn't seem to have it yet. I did a system update and everything and it says everything's updated. Do you happen to know what version of the system update should have the feature?
I don't think it's something tied to the os ver. I think it's an update to the Google TV app through the app store. My guess is that the update is rolling out by accounts?? Not really sure unfortunately.
You need to turn on public preview in your google home app from your phone. Then wait 15 minutes and force stop google tv app . Then start it again. It should be fine
Best feature added to Google TV in months, if not years IMHO. I'm already a Google home user so this is perfect. But if you don't use Google home, this will be useless. 😊
Took me a few minutes to figure out where I recognize you from. Hello from Denver 😁
👋🏻 hey Zach!!! Love my Denver peeps. News guy by day, geek boy by night! 🤓

@Harpreetsingh-dr2yg ☝🏻 awesome. amazing tip and thx for posting
Should this work on Sony A90J already?
@thefunkypopcorn tough to say. Depends if Sony is controlling the updates on that tv. My guess is, yes. 😫
I have 3 TCL Google TV’s, no updates yet! In Canada
Bummer. Wonder if Canada is a different region and on a different schedule?
@ must be - trying to find a manual download so I can install locally but haven’t found it yet.
I have the same problem, TCL and living in Montreal. Maxed at Android TV OS v 11 :/
Mine updated just last week!
@jamesz7770 nice!
That's so cool! 👌👍
I'm sure it will get better over time

Can y control verbally with yr voice? as well
Yup! Using the remote you can hold down the button and say "hey Google dim the lights" etc.
