Google Home not obeying default TV with Android TV present

by CenterInYou

Long story short I have a good deal of Google Homes around the house and two TVs. As of a few days ago both TVs were controlled by Chromecasts and I had no issue with the Google Homes controlling those TVs and understanding the "default TV" option.

Yesterday I replaced my main TV with a Hisense H8F which runs Android TV. I have Casting turned on but now all my Google Homes no matter which default TV i have set in the settings will always try and do said action to the Android TV.

Example: Bedroom Google Home default TV is set to Bedroom TV. If I ask " turn on the TV" it responses with "turning on Living Room TV" which is the Hisense H8F. It doesn't matter which Google Home i'm using, they all do it. For good measure I did reset one of the Google Homes and the Chromecast.

Any ideas or has anyone else see this?

EDIT: I found a few small posts on the Google forums with users with the same issue. It started back in April. I created mine own hopefully to pull together all the info and get more visibility. Please upvote it here https://support.google.com/googlenest/thread/11327707?hl=en&dark=1

My experience is random stuff wil break all the time, and get fixed all the time. usually an annoyance lasts 2 weeks until it's somehow resolved.
