On TVs with Google Assistant it is possible to execute several commands using the voice assistant. One of the main benefits of having this function is that you no longer need to look for the remote control, because the user uses the vocal command to perform the actions.

6 voice commands to use on a TV with Google Assistant
1. Open apps and control your TV
You can turn the TV on and off just by saying “Ok, Google, turn on the TV” or “OK, Google, turn off the TV”, increase or decrease the volume, saying “Ok, Google, increase the volume to 60%”, open apps, such as “Ok, Google, open Google Play Store” or also say “OK, Google, switch to HDMI 2” to change the input option of the television.
2. Helping to find a restaurant
You can inquire about points of interest in your city and find new restaurants near you. For example, you can say “Okay, Google, which is the nearest Italian restaurant? ”. And you can also see the best way to get to this restaurant by saying, “Okay, Google, how do I get there?”.
3. Run content directly in applications
You can ask to start a specific series on a movie and series streaming platform, with, for example, “Ok, Google, play La Casa de Papel on Netflix” or listen to your favorite singer, such as “Ok, Google, play Pabllo Vittar on Spotify ”.
4. Search for content or ask questions
Just say “Ok, Google, what is the weather forecast for today in USA?” to find out about the weather or something like “Ok, Google, when will Barcelona’s next game be?” or “How far is the moon?” to seek more information on a particular subject. If you can’t remember the name of a show or are simply looking for a celebrity, just say, “Okay, Google, find Viola Davis movies” for the wizard to present the results.
5. Access or set up appointments in the calendar
For the assistant to present the tasks of the day, just say “Ok, Google, good morning” and, to include some appointment in the agenda, for example, “Ok, Google, include event in the agenda, dentist at 11 am on the 10th September 2020 ”.
6. Connect or disconnect devices on the same network (automation)
This evolution also makes it possible for the TV to be used as a control center for the connected house, provided that the other devices are compatible with the system and are connected to the TV via Wi-Fi and / or wired network. With this, it is possible for the TV to receive commands to turn on the lights, synchronize the devices, turn on the vacuum cleaner or other electronics, with commands like “Ok, Google, turn on the office lamp“.
