Xiaomi Projector - can cast but can't manage from GH app?

I have a xiaomi compact projector that has chromecast built in.

I had it set up in my google home app and it was working fine for months until an android TV update back in august rendered the projector's wifi broken. The update also stopped any ability to cast to the projector.

That was finally fixed this week and it's now working fine and I can cast to it from my iphone once again.

However, when i go back to the projector in the google home app and try and access any settings I simply get a page saying "disconnected device". The projector is on the same wifi network and there's no obvious reason that I can't access it from Google Home.

I thought about deleting it completely from Google Home and then trying to re-add it, but I can't see any obvious to to re-establish it as a chromecast device and I don't want to lose the ability to cast that I at least have now.

 

Any ideas?

Hey there chrisbmt,

I apologize about the late response, thank you for being patient! Were you able to fix that Projector issue? If not, I'd be happy to help out, since I know how difficult it can be to troubleshoot 3rd-party devices. Let me just ask you some questions about what's happening:

  • Is the Google Home app up-to-date?
  • Is the projector up-to-date?
  • Is this an issue that Xiaomi is aware, or have you seen other users experience similar issues?
  • What troubleshooting steps have you already tried?

I look forward to your response, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know!

Best regards,
Jeran
