It can actually turn your TV on if you plug in a separate micro-USB power source to the Chromecast rather than powering it from your TV's USB port (which turns off when the TV is off, so the Chromecast is dead). :) You also have to enable CEC in your TV (this is disabled by default on my two Vizio TVs, anyway).
@mamasreviews63626 жыл бұрын
Thanks Douglas! So our Chromecast is plugged into the TVs HDMI port, then power is from the wall outlet. I think the issue is our TV is a bit old and doesn't give us the option to change the HDMI settings :(

Does it have to do with WiFi internet speed??
@mamasreviews63626 жыл бұрын
Hi Phil! Does what have to do with it? If you mean, does the Wifi speed affect the usage or capabilities - I would say not really. Because it's not loading any pages, videos, etc. However, if your connection is spotty and you're streaming music or some other audio, my guess is that it's possible but not likely. Hopefully that somewhat helped! I'm not sure if I totally understood your question though..

Is your chromecast using your TV as a power source? If the TV's off, then there will be no power on the chromecast. Try to use a USB charger for your chromecast, then plug it in your power bar or wall outlet. Depending on your TV model, you might be able to turn on the TV by saying "hey google, turn on the tv" now

Hmm.. the Chromecast is plugged into the TV's HDMI port then the other end is in the power outlet. I think if I have a smart plug, then the Google assistant could control it from there.

Top ONE lame Feature - WARNING if you're thinking of buying a Google Home or Home Mini ... YOU CAN'T CONNECT IT VIA BLUETOOTH to an external BT Speaker like you can EASILY with ANY Amazon Echo or Echo Dot! And the Home Mini has NO SPEAKER OUT jack to physically connect to an external wired speaker either (which the Echo's ALL HAVE!) I have 2 Echo Dots and 1 Google Home Mini and this is a deal breaker! To connect to an external speaker with the Home or Mini you have to ... guess what ... BUY a Google Chrome Speaker, what a shock! Google = Greedy.
