Sleep timer

Hi 

I bought the device for my mother who had difficulties using my old smart tv. We are overall satisfied with the simplicity of use except for the sleep timer. We’d like to find a way to off the tv after a set time of inactivity. When trying to set a sleep timer we are told that a timer can only be set when a media is playing even a media is actually playing. Could you propose a solution ? Thanks.

Hi leicester159,

A sleep timer is a feature used for speakers and displays that can stop media from playing after a set amount of time.

If you are looking for a way to turn your TV off after a set amount of time then you would need to have the TV linked as a device within the Google Home app as well as the Chromecast with Google TV or use this feature from the TV remote control.
