The Google Home app will soon also let you control your television

Google is testing a new functionality for the Google Home app. It seems that the remote control of your television can go in the cupboard, because the functionality can be taken over by the Google application.

Remote control for your TV in Google Home

The Google Home application can help you control many smart devices. Think of your smart lamps, thermostat or Nest (Hub). Looks like you’ll be able to manage even more products soon. It is in the latest information about an interface for operating your television. The Google Home app takes over tasks from your TV remote control.

The feature seems to be visible in version 2.62.1.9, although it is unclear whether the view is available to everyone. In any case, it is clear that the functionality is only available for those who have already linked the television to Google Home, such as in combination with the Nest Hub, which makes this slightly different from operating the Chromecast in the television. We see the functionality for Samsung and LG televisions, but it may work with more brands. It is not yet known when the functionality will be widely rolled out by Google.
