I wish Google implemented Android TV Remote Control into the Google Home app

Yeah but keeping the standalone remote app too.

they should implement cursor support first

Sounds like a great idea. The code already exists so the team wouldn't be starting from scratch.

Agreed I would like to be able to turn off and on my lights with a custom remote command

Thats a great effing idea. Which is why we will never see it. Even if they made it so you had to be bluetooth connected that would still be great. Or even if a google home device had to be BT connected.

I want to be able to add my tv to a audio group so I can play music in two rooms at once

It is nice to have it in the Google Home app as it seems logical whenever we connect to an Android TV device to perform many things other than start/stop current cast, increment/decrement volume, or on/off the device.

But, I guess Google doesn't want to duplicate their existing project, the Android TV remote control app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tv.remote&hl=en&gl=US
