So what's next...

[dontpanicbobby]

I've got Hue bulbs but can TVs be controlled through Google Home. Cathode Ray Tube with RCA jacks?

Google home will control your chromecasts as well......

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Chromecast is USB.

 

[psionandy]

no it isn't....


HDMI plugs into your TV.. and communicates via Wifi.

The USB connection is for power only.

So, if your TV supports switching to the HDMI when it powers up, you can get google home to automatically play youtube etc.. on your TV





/EDIT
Ahhhhh Nuts... you want it to play on your old Goldfish Tank CRT TV....


Maybe.. if you have something that will act as a IR blaster?

OK.. having read your question properly, I revoke my original answer... and humbly suggest this sort of idea as an alternative

Hmm..

Read it.
IFTTT?
Bought it years ago and still don't know how to use it. That's some "nerd 2.0" stuff.

How secure are these door locks I keep hearing about? I've used FOBs and thumbprints but never my phone.
