I restarted my Pixel, rebooted the chromecast Dongle, and had the same
results. I don't have another phone to try this with. I hope you are not
going to tell me that I can't use a Google phone to activate a Google
product!

to open Google Home App.I open the app on my cell, and Home says
"Chromecast found. It needs to be activated before setup. This device
has a few extra steps before you can start...
