How To Control Your ONYX TV Box with Your Voice?

Hey Google (Voice Assistant) Button — Quick Reference

Purpose

Activates the Google Voice Assistant so users can control the ONYX TV Box and compatible apps with voice commands.

How it Works

• Press and hold the Hey Google button on the remote.

• Speak your command into the remote’s microphone.

• The Google Assistant processes the request and performs actions such as searching, launching apps, controlling playback, or answering questions.

How to Use

1. Press and hold the dedicated Hey Google / Voice Assistant button on your remote.

2. Speak your command clearly (for example: “Play Stranger Things on Netflix,” “Search for comedy movies,” or “Open YouTube”).

3. Release the button so the Assistant can process and execute the command.

Common Commands You Can Use

• Search content: “Find comedy movies,” “Show me trending YouTube videos.”

• Launch apps: “Open NOX App,” “Open Netflix,” “Open YouTube.”

• Playback control: “Play,” “Pause,” “Stop,” “Rewind 30 seconds,” “Skip to next.”

• Navigation: “Go home,” “Open settings,” “Go back.”

• Device info and general queries: “What’s the weather today?” “What time is it?” “Set a timer for 10 minutes.”

• Smart home control (if integrated): “Turn off the living room lights,” “Set thermostat to 22 degrees.”

Additional Notes

• If voice assistant setup or permissions are required, pressing the button may open setup prompts before voice commands work.

• When the Assistant is already active, pressing the button brings it into listening mode again.

• Available commands depend on installed apps, app versions, and account permissions.

Tips for Best Results

• Speak clearly and use concise, specific commands.

• Use app-specific phrasing when possible (e.g., “Play [show] on Netflix”).

• Ensure microphone permissions and Assistant settings are enabled in system settings.

• Check network connection for actions that require internet access.

Troubleshooting Quick Steps

• No response when pressing the button:

  1. Confirm remote batteries and pairing.

  2. Verify microphone permissions and Assistant setup on the device.

  3. Restart the TV Box.

• Assistant opens but does not execute commands:

  1. Check network connection.

  2. Make sure the correct account is signed in and voice match (if used) is configured.

  3. Update Google Assistant and related apps.

• Voice commands trigger incorrect actions:

  1. Try more specific phrasing (e.g., include the app name).

  2. Review Assistant language and region settings.
