- warp 6y agoI've had great success with the Google smart speaker with "Hey Google, turn off the Living Room TV". I do have to specify "Living Room TV", even though the speaker and chromecast are configured to be in the same room, it still just turns off a bedroom tv if I'm not specific about which tv. Also "Hey Google, turn off the Xbox" works, because I linked that at some point. So not just timers! ;)
- disillusioned 6y agoThere's a setting in Google Home where you can alias which TV a given speaker is paired to as its default so you don't have to name the TV. If you have a device _named_ TV, that goes out the window, though.
