Telus Home Assistant Problems
Roughly a couple of weeks ago, my ability to use Telus Home Assistant to voice control our PVR stopped working properly. I tried unlinking and relinking the account. I tried power cycling everything....
Thanks for confirming. It looks like the fix went in already last night!
I phoned Telus and the person I talked to created a ticket for some other techs to look into it. He followed up a few days later with me, but nothing has been done. Maybe Google changed the underlying coding for home control and Telus didn't update their code?
The new boxes aren't integrated with Google? Can you change channel by voice? The 5 day recording limitation is what prevented me from getting the new box.
There is a google button on the center of the remote. If you hold it down, you can just say Channel 104 and it will change to that channel. When you try to link your Telus account with Google, it will not show the new boxes. I am not sure if this is because I am in a transition period, or if the new boxes don't have that capability. I believe you get unlimited cloud storage for 45 days, then everything is wiped after that.
From my understanding, they are slowly transitioning everyone over to the new Evolution Android boxes. I am trying to get them to cancel the new boxes and revert back to the legacy 4k wireless boxes/pvr. The new remote is also a pita. They removed a lot of the buttons and integrated into the Home menu.
