Doesn't surprise me. They never even supported it with the Assistant / Google Home. There's pretty much zero point in onboarding with any Google products anymore.

I got some Google home mini devices and now none of them work to do basically anything of value. Actually I shouldn't say now, they stopped doing the basic functions I wanted them for around 2 years ago.

Telling it to play a show on TV doesnt work, which is essentially why I bought them. The most they can do now is basic on and off functions. They were constantly going off at random times when no one was talking. They have now become fancy looking paperweights.

I also have Google TV which is slowly becoming worse and worse. I recently bought my kids Rokus because they had all the same functions as Google but without the microphone remote. They were half the price and are working better than my Google TV.
