I just watched "Reed's Smart Home"'s new youtube video showing a simple automation where he can dim the lights when his chromecast starts playing and they turn back up when he pauses. I have been trying to do this forever and have just been using voice commands to control the lighting. This is way better. He had the options in his ios google home app to uses "media playing" as a starter under his chromecast. I do not have that option. I only have "on" and "off". I messaged Reed and he responded saying it was because he was part of the "public preview". I was also part of the public preview as i had the little yellow chemistry flask shown in my app and remembered joining months ago. I decided that maybe i needed to get out of the public preview and try to rejoin it. I did this and I still don't have these options for starters and nothing else has changed. Now I don't know if i really am part of the public preview or if my app is just showing me that I am. I need help.
