DColor GD2 Google TV Box – Android 12 Smart TV Control & Home Assistant Compatible

Overview

The DColor GD2 Google TV Box is a compact Google-certified Android TV (Android 12) media and control device that brings modern smart TV functionality to any HDMI display. Powered by the Amlogic S905Y4 quad-core processor, it supports smooth 4K playback, Google Play apps, and voice navigation via Google Assistant, making it suitable as a full-featured TV interface for everyday viewing and control.

Alongside standard TV use, the device can also be linked with Home Assistant, allowing it to act as a smart display and media endpoint within a wider home automation system.

Home Assistant Integration

The DColor GD2 works with Home Assistant in two complementary ways, allowing it to function both as a normal Android TV device and as part of an automated smart home setup.

Android TV Control

As a Google-certified Android TV device, the GD2 can be detected by Home Assistant using the Android TV Remote integration on supported firmware. Where available, this allows Home Assistant to interact directly with the TV interface, enabling media control such as playback, volume, and app launching.

The availability of deeper control depends on the firmware provided by the manufacturer, but when supported, this allows the TV to behave as a controllable media device within Home Assistant.

Google Cast Display

In addition to direct control, the device fully supports Google Cast, allowing Home Assistant to send content to the screen. This is the most consistent and widely supported method, and is ideal for displaying Home Assistant dashboards, camera feeds, and information screens.

Using Google Cast, the TV acts as a visual endpoint for Home Assistant, making it suitable for fixed displays in living spaces, offices, or wall-mounted installations.

Together, these two methods allow the DColor GD2 to operate as both a traditional smart TV interface and a Home Assistant-connected display.
