Re: Roku Voice Remote Pro TV controls using voice not working

I was starting to think those commands only work on actual Roku TVs even though the note mentions CEC, but my 3821 stick will control the TV's volume via voice command.  It may be interesting to note that the TV is a TCL Roku TV - the remote is paired to the stick and set up to control the TV via CEC.  I don't have any non-Roku TVs with CEC.  I wouldn't think it should make a difference, but maybe I'll try my 4800 with the TV.

According to this article :

How to set up hands-free TV controls (Roku Voice Remote Pro only)

Voice commands are transmitted to your Roku device over a dedicated wireless connection, where they are then passed along to your TV over the HDMI cable. To use hands-free TV controls with your Roku Voice Remote Pro, you need to first make sure CEC is enabled on your TV to allow for this communication. Voice commands cannot be sent using IR technology.

According to the link CEC is enabled on your TV from above, many TV brands are compatible with Roku Voice Remote Pro's "hands-free TV controls."
