Google home integration status

  • 1 to infinity for a very basic reason Alexa is not yet available to be sold in Canada an Google home will be soon be available Canada

I’d love to see this happen also.

I keep checking this thread in the hope of some exciting news.

+1 for Google Home Integration.

Would be a game changer for me.

There is a kind of Google Home integration, right now, At least with Android 7.0. If you search for a video you have in Plex, on the bottom it appears its banner. Clicking on it it opens Plex straight to that video. Then you must click play. Otherwise I have Plex showing in the Home suggestions the Plex videos that have already played a bit.

Otherwise an other option is to say “open Plex” and from there search (vocally if you like) for the video name. Then click on it and it starts from the last point reached.

PS: Never mind. I have got confused with Google Assistant or what is implemented in Android TV

wouldn’t mind some Google Home Support :smiley:

Hi guys is there any update on the Google home integration with Plex? We are really waiting for this. Even some positive or encouraging communication would be nice from the Plex team.

Plex generally doesn’t give ETAs or indication of planned features @babaganooj

welcome to the forums though

+1 google home integration pleeasse, when able of course. Keep up the amazing work, use plex bout every day!

This would be the perfect addition to Google Home + Chromecast!

I just got Google Home. This is high on my list of “must bloody-well haves”!

Really don’t want to use Phlex as it’s confusing to set up and doesn’t use simple language to operate. Would LOVE to see Plex make their own. My Home arrives tomorrow.

I agree I tried to set up Phlex but could not get it to work and it seemed way to complicated.

+1 and for all languages!

Got my Google home today first thing I tried was using it with plex
+1 from me

Looked this up before buying one, hoping it already worked, hopefully soon, please!

(For Android phone users, don’t know about iPhone
)

Anymote app + IFTTT + Google Assistant/Home + Plex = Win

IFTTT has both the services you need: Google Assistant and Anymote.

You can install the Anymote app even if you don’t have an IR blaster on your phone, as control of Plex is accomplished via IP.

I do have some luck with IFTTT integration to my Plex home theater, but it takes an awfully long time for commands to make it thru IFTTT and back. Makes it kinda silly to use. Native and local integration would be much better.

still no update?

+1 for google home/assistant integration

Android TV should be getting updated OS in the next month or two. With Nvidia Spot + Nvidia Shield + built in google assistant is the perfect end game. My guess is this is being worked on for android TV specifically for when spot releases. Maybe that’s wishful thinking though
