Communication with FiOS STB

KyleW
Community Member

Tuesday

I recently upgraded my FiOS TV equipment. The new equipment is based on Android TV. I set up a new Google Home and added a Nest Mini. I have been able to get Google Assistant/Google Home to communicate with Phillips Hue lights and Hunter Douglas window shades. I have also been able to use Google Assistant/Google Home to communicate with part of my TV. I can turn it On/Off and launch various streaming services like Netflix. 

What I can't do is use Google Assistant/Google Home to change the channel via the new FiOS STB. So I can use Google Assistant/Google Home to communicate with the Android TV but not the FiOS STB. Is there a way to configure Google Assistant/Google Home to communicate with the FiOS STB?

Thanks,

Kyle

Hi @KyleW,

 

Thanks for reaching out to the community. I understand you want to use your FiOS STB with Google Home and Google Assistant. I'd be glad to help.

Please follow these steps:

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

Feel free to keep us posted if you have more questions.

 

Best regards,

Gabriela
