1. Click the Settings icon at the top of the Google TV screen to open the quick settings dashboard.
2. Click “Settings” next to the profile icon“Account and Login”“User Profile”「Google Home」。
3. clickTurn icon on/off to enable or disable Google TV’s home control panel.

Note that there are a few conditions you must meet in order to see the Home Control Panel. Like:

• You must have a valid Google TV profile and be the owner or member of a home in the Google Home app. Child profiles do not support operating the home control panel.
• Google TV devices must be set to standard mode (not application-only or basic mode).
• The Home Control Panel must be enabled before this feature can be used on Google TV.
• Google TV and the user profile must belong to the same household.
• In addition to Google TV, there must be at least one smart home device.
• Requires Google TV Streamer (4K) and Chromecast with Google TV devices.
