The Google TV Streamer (4K) is Google's flagship streaming box and the successor to the Chromecast line. Home Assistant pairs the local cast integration for playback and app state with androidtv_remote for power, volume, and key presses, so one box gives a room a full media_player: launch apps in a scene, dim lights on play, and shut the screen down at bedtime.
Works on integrations
Roles it can fill
Use both integrations together: cast (local polling) reports playback and app state, androidtv_remote (local push) sends power, volume, and navigation keys after a one-time on-screen pairing code. Built-in Gigabit Ethernet plus a Thread border router and Matter hub make it a strong hub-adjacent device for streaming-heavy rooms.
