I have a Roku Ultra 4850X with software version 14.1.  How do I link my Roku to Google Home?

[Killjoy4040]

Use the Home app.

Go into the Devices tab and select the option to add a device.

When prompted, select "Partner Devices" .

On the next screen search Roku , click the Roku icon to be directed to the account login and linking page.

Coincidentally, I had a notification in the Home app promoting me to link myRoku account.

Thank you very much.  When I do that, it says "Could not reach Roku.  Please try again."  What else can I do?

Hi Adwissler,

Thanks for posting. I understand you want to set up your Roku Ultra 4850X with the Google Home app. Don't worry; help is here. In this case, you will need to set up the smart home device by following the steps provided by the device maker; after that, you can try the next steps:

Connect smart home devices in the Google Home app:

• Open the Google Home app.
• Tap Devices > Add > Works with Google Home.
• Select the device maker from the list.
• To complete the setup, follow the in-app steps.

For detailed information, you can check the "Connect third-party smart home devices in the Google Home app" article.

Please let me know if you have any questions during the process.

Best regards,

Jenny

Thank you very much. As I stated above, when I do that, it says "Could not reach Roku. Please try again." What else can I do?

Hi Adwissler,

Thanks for your reply. I just need to confirm, did you already set up the Roku on its own app before starting the setup process on the Google Home app?
Please keep me posted. I'll be waiting for your response.

Best regards,
Jenny

Hi Jenny,

I think so, but I don't remember.

Thank you very much.

Hi Adwissler,

Thanks for your response. In this case, could you please, by following the steps already provided, try to start the setup process again? And if it is possible, try with a different mobile device.

Please keep me posted. I'll be waiting for your response.

Best regards,

Jenny
