Hey everyone! I’ve been diving into integrating my Vizio SmartCast TV with Home Assistant, and I’m really excited about how smooth the process has been so far. I wanted to share my experience and ask for any tips or tricks you might have! ![]()

First off, I followed the official Home Assistant documentation, and it was super straightforward. I just needed to make sure my TV was on and connected to the same network as my Home Assistant instance. The setup process recognized the TV right away, and now I can control it from my dashboard! ![]()

One thing I’m curious about is how others handle voice commands for their TV. I’ve set up Alexa routines to turn it on/off and change inputs, but I’d love to hear if there’s a more seamless way to integrate voice controls. Any recommendations? ![]()
Also, I’d love to hear about any custom automations people have created with their Vizio TVs. For example, maybe turning the TV on when the kids come home from school or adjusting the volume based on time of day. The possibilities seem endless! ![]()
