如何使用 Chromecast 将 Google Home 连接到电视(How To Connect Google Home To TV With Chromecast)
如果你有一台Chromecast、一台带HDMI 端口(HDMI port)的电视和一个不错的 Wi-Fi 连接，那么你就拥有了将Google Assistant连接到你的Chromecast所需的一切。
首先插入您的Chromecast。您的Chromecast可能会插入HDMI 端口(HDMI port)并使用微型 USB 供电。Chromecast Ultra略有不同，它使用外部电源砖(power brick)，而不是直接插入电视。
插入并设置 Chromecast 后，将您的Google Home 设备(Google Home device)连接(Chromecast)到Chromecast很简单。设置Chromecast后，您应该已经安装了Google Home 应用(Google Home app)，但如果没有，请立即下载。您可以在 Play Store(the Play Store)和App Store(the App Store)上找到该应用程序。
- 确保(Make)您的Google Home和Chromecast在同一个WiFi 网络(WiFi network)上。如果不是，您将很难将它们连接起来。
- 在您的移动设备上打开Google Home 应用。(Google Home app)Google通常不允许在计算机上设置Google Home 应用。(Google Home app)虽然有可能，但解决方法在很大程度上不值得麻烦。
- 点击添加(Add)，然后设置设备(Set Up Device)，然后设置新设备(Set up new devices)。
- 将出现不同房屋的列表。选择您想要添加设备的家庭或创建您想要添加设备的家庭。完成后，点击Next。
- Google将查找并显示所有兼容设备的列表。从此列表中选择您的 Chromecast，然后点击(list and tap) 下一步(Next)。
- Chromecast连接到的电视上会显示一个代码。确保它与您的移动设备上显示的代码相匹配。
- 接下来，您可以选择在您的设备上提交匿名数据。选择(Choose)是(Yes)或否(No)。_
- 选择您的设备所在的房间，然后单击Next。
- 选择您希望设备连接的Wi-Fi 网络，然后单击(Wi-Fi network)下一步。(Next.)
- 然后将询问您是否要接收电子邮件。选择是(Yes)或否(No)。
- 之后，选择您要添加的视频服务，然后单击下一步(Next)。
- 点击继续(Continue)。
完成所有这些步骤后，您的设备现在应该已链接。您可以告诉Google Home “在Chromecast上(Chromecast)播放(Play) 来自Netflix的(Netflix)朋友(Friends)”，该节目应该会在屏幕上弹出，无需进一步提示。
您可以控制音量、跳过剧集等等。但是，除非您连接了Logitech Harmony Hub(Logitech Harmony Hub)，否则您无法关闭电视。
如何将 Google Home 连接到已经设置好的设备(How To Connect Google Home To An Already-Set-Up Device)
上述步骤是用于连接全新设备，但您可能会遇到设备已经安装在您家中的情况，例如智能电视。如果它具有内置Chromecast，它可能不会显示在您要添加到Google Home的设备列表中。
以下是将Google Home连接到该电视的方法：
- 同样，请确保您的设备和 Google Home(device and Google Home)都在同一个网络上。如果您不确定(t sure)，请在其设置菜单中检查您的智能电视使用的网络连接。(network connection)
- 打开 Google Home 应用。
- 点击添加(Add)并选择设置设备。(Set up device.)
- 点按已经设置好了吗？(Have something already set up?)
- 将出现一个设备列表。任何链接的设备都将显示在顶部。点击右上角的搜索按钮(search button)，然后输入(corner and type)您的设备名称。找到后，点击设备名称(device name)。
- 系统将提示您登录。如果您要设置智能电视，请使用该品牌的帐户登录(account login)- Sony、Vizio等。
- 登录后，您应该会收到一条警报，显示[NameOfDevice] 现已链接。(is now linked.)
关联设备后，您将可以通过Google Home 智能(Google Home smart)助手控制您的电视。您还可以从手机 投射内容和图像。(content and images)
如果您有智能电视，则适用于您型号的特定应用程序还将为您提供一个数字遥控器，它可以完成物理遥控器所能做的一切。这是另一个很好的选择，当沙发垫已经消耗它并且你找不到能量来挖掘它们时。
How To Connect Your Google Home To Your TV
When you’re resting on уour comfortable couch after a long day, the last thing you want to do is get up to find the remote just to turn up the volume оn your favorite ѕhow.
Thankfully, Google Assistant – through a Google Home device or through your phone – can give you control of many aspects of your television even if the remote is out of reach. For example, you can change the volume level or start Netflix with just a phrase.
All it requires is a Chromecast or a smart TV. The setup process is the most time-consuming step, and even that will only take a few minutes of your time.
How To Connect Google Home To TV With Chromecast
If you have a Chromecast, a TV with an HDMI port, and a half-decent Wi-Fi connection, then you have everything you need to connect Google Assistant to your Chromecast.
Start by plugging in your Chromecast. Your Chromecast will likely plug into the HDMI port and use a micro-USB for power. The Chromecast Ultra is slightly different in that it uses an external power brick rather than plugging directly into the TV.
Once the Chromecast is plugged in and set up, connecting your Google Home device to Chromecast is simple. You should already have the Google Home app installed after setting up the Chromecast, but if not, take the time to download it now. You can find the app on both the Play Store and the App Store.
- Make sure both your Google Home and your Chromecast are on the same WiFi network. If they aren’t, you’ll have a hard time connecting them.
- Open the Google Home app on your mobile device. Google does not normally allow the Google Home app to be set up on computers. While it is possible, the workarounds are largely not worth the trouble.
- Tap Add then Set Up Device then Set up new devices.
- A list of different homes will appear. Select the home you want to add the device to or create the home you want to add the device to. Once this is done, tap Next.
- Google will look for and present a list of all compatible devices. Select your Chromecast from this list and tap Next.
- A code will appear on the TV your Chromecast is connected to. Make sure it matches the code displayed on your mobile device.
- Next, you’ll be given the option to submit anonymous data on your device. Choose either Yes or No.
- Select the room your device is in and click Next.
- Select the Wi-Fi network you want your device to connect to and click Next.
- You will then be asked if you want to receive emails or not. Select Yes or No.
- After this, select the video services you want to add and click Next.
- Tap Continue.
Once all these steps have been completed, your device should now be linked. You can tell Google Home to “Play Friends from Netflix on Chromecast,” and the show should pop on-screen with no further prompting.
You can control the volume, skip episodes, and much more. However, you cannot turn the television off unless you have a Logitech Harmony Hub connected to it.
How To Connect Google Home To An Already-Set-Up Device
The above steps are for linking a brand-new device, but you might encounter a situation where the device is already set up in your home, a smart TV, for instance. If it has a built-in Chromecast, it might not show on your list of devices to add to Google Home.
Here’s how to connect Google Home to that TV:
- Again, make sure both your device and Google Home are on the same network. If you aren’t sure, check what network connection your smart TV uses in its settings menu.
- Open the Google Home app.
- Tap Add and select Set up device.
- Tap Have something already set up?
- A list of devices will appear. Any linked devices will be shown at the top. Tap the search button in the top-right corner and type in the name of your device. Once you’ve found it, tap the device name.
- You will be prompted to sign in. If you’re setting up a smart TV, use your account login with that brand—Sony, Vizio, etc.
- Once you sign in, you should get an alert that says [NameOfDevice] is now linked.
Once you have linked the devices, you will have control of your TV from your Google Home smart assistant. You’ll also be able to cast content and images from your phone.
If you have a smart TV, the specific app for your model will also give you a digital remote that can do everything that a physical remote can. This is another great option for when the couch cushions have consumed it and you can’t find the energy to dig through them.
