https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Apps-Account/TV-as-speaker-for-Home-app-routine/m-p/234162#M13332 <P>Hello</P><P><BR />Im pretty new to this whole google home story just trying to experiment a bit. Could you please help me out here?<BR />I have a samsung TV with connected Chromcast. I added this device on my phone to the Home App and now i can control it properly(turn on/off, use built in the remote, cast etc.).<BR />Using the chromcast remote, i can also use the built in assistant to ask for the weather and i can hear the results on the TV speakers.</P><P>Now i was trying to write a very basic routine to start up the TV at a specific time and announce the weather but here i got stuck.</P><P>In the routines menu, i can not select the TV to start my routines on. Is that expected What other devices could i select here normally? What can execute the routines? Phone, Nest hub..?<BR />When i open the routine itself, i can not select the TV for audio device. Can't that function simply as a speaker? Currently i can only select the device that started the routine, which can only be my phone apparently.</P><P>Probably linked but im also not sure if i understand why there is no audio device if i set the starter to a specific time instead of voice command. Where would the routine start in that case?</P><P><BR />Thanks in advance for your feedback!</P> Wed, 07 Sep 2022 07:59:41 GMT ttokesi 2022-09-07T07:59:41Z https://www.googlenestcommunity.com/t5/Apps-Account/TV-as-speaker-for-Home-app-routine/m-p/234162#M13332 <P>Hello</P><P><BR />Im pretty new to this whole google home story just trying to experiment a bit.
