Can I use Bixby to turn on my TV?
Yes, if your Samsung TV supports Bixby, you can use Bixby to turn on your TV using voice commands. To do this, make sure your Samsung TV is connected to the internet and that you have set up Bixby on your TV. Then, you can say “Hi Bixby” or press the microphone button on your TV remote to activate Bixby and say a command like “Turn on my TV” or “Power on my TV.”
Note that the exact voice commands may vary depending on your TV model and the version of Bixby that your TV is running. Additionally, if your TV is in standby mode, you may need to say “Wake up my TV” or “Turn on my TV from standby” instead of simply saying “Turn on my TV.”
Why does voice assistant keep turning on Samsung TV?
If the voice assistant on your Samsung TV keeps turning on unexpectedly, there are a few possible reasons:
- Accidental button presses: You or someone else in your household may be accidentally pressing the microphone button on your TV remote or activating the voice assistant with a similar command.
- TV settings: It is possible that the voice assistant is set to automatically turn on when you turn on your TV or when you press a specific button on your remote.
- Voice commands from other devices: If you have other devices in your home that are also equipped with voice assistants (such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant), they may be inadvertently triggering the voice assistant on your Samsung TV.
To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:
- Check your TV remote: Make sure that you are not accidentally pressing the microphone button on your TV remote. You can also try removing the batteries from your remote to see if this stops the voice assistant from turning on.
- Check TV settings: Navigate to the Accessibility settings on your Samsung TV and make sure that the voice assistant is not set to automatically turn on. You can also try resetting your TV to its factory settings to see if this resolves the issue.
- Check other devices: If you have other devices with voice assistants in your home, try disabling them temporarily to see if this stops the voice assistant on your Samsung TV from turning on. You can also try moving the other devices further away from your Samsung TV to prevent any accidental voice commands.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may want to contact Samsung customer support for further assistance.
