Turn off Smart TV with Chromecast using Android Phone

On our android phones, we hold the home button to bring up Google Assistant.

Then we tell it to “turn off [chromecast name]”, by voice command.

Back in the day, we used the Google Home Mini to perform that function. However, over time we started feeling uneasy about its potential to breach our privacy. So we parted ways.

On the other hand, our smart phones are always with usOne might say it presents similar privacy risks 🤷‍♂️. Rather than reaching for the smart tv remote, a simple voice command through the phone can turn off the television.
