google mini home

Hi All,

I've just got a GMH and want to turn my TV on/off with the Google device.

From watching a youtube video I believe it can be done with the external plug in chromecast which has a seperate power supply. But not the built in chromecast.

My Q is will there be any issues running 2 chromecast's ??

Hi Dave,

Welcome to the Community. It would be best to contact Google Chromecast Support about this, as they'll be best placed to advise you. You can reach them here.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Owen

my understanding is that you can name the chromecast separately, so that you can send commands to each of them;

Though the crazy thing is that Google Android built-in Chromecast can switch on TV, not switch off..

This is something Google should fix...
