Google Home App TV icons / symbols

[KpttpK]

Hello,
I have 2 TVs at home:
1-  Sony KD-49XD7005 (2016 model) chromecast built-in,
2- Samsung 60KS8000 (2016 model) no chromecast built-in

I bought 2 pieces Chromecast 3rd Gen and completed setups on both TVs.
In my Google Home App, i have 2 type of icons for both my TVs and i am confused.
I can't turn on/off both my TVs with or without chromecast devices.
So i am not sure that these chromecasts are useful or not. Because there are already some smart connections with different symbols.
Could you please clearify these symbol means ?

I would rename them.

You can't rename them, They are called shared device and it'll show what's playing under that

[SirCody]

For each Chromecast device on your network will have that icon for each unless you turn off the setting,let others control this on your network. When I have my TV on and music on my Nest I like to have both to control separately or someone else can control it for me

Hey there,
I understand that this issue can be confusing but I definitely wanted to stop by and see how I could help.

Just wanted to double check to see if you were still needing help on this or if the answer from SirCody worked for you? If you still need help, what troubleshooting steps have you tried?

Please let me know.

Best regards,
