If you have a remote with a speaker grille, open the Roku app, tap the microphone, and say, 'Hey, Roku, find my remote.' The remote will emit a beeping noise. If you've spent far too many hours trying to find it, we have some solutions. The Roku remote is easily lost in couch cushions and under coffee tables. Sign in to your Roku account and then choose which device you want to control with Google Assistant. Open the Google Assistant mobile app, tap Explore > Settings > Home Control > Add Device > Find > Roku. Set up your Google Assistant on your Google device or app. First check that your Roku player is running Roku OS 9.0 or higher or that your Roku TV has Roku OS 8.2 or higher.

Roku has also opened its platform to Google, so you can use Google Assistant to make voice requests. Then you're set to ask things like, 'Alexa, open Netflix on living room Roku.' In the Alexa app, tap on the Roku device and make sure it is enabled. Either add it to an existing group or create a new one by tapping the plus button. Then add the Roku to a group by selecting the Devices icon. Once it finds it, tap Manage, Link Devices, and select the Roku you want to connect to Alexa. Then close your Roku account so Alexa will search for the device on the Device Discovery screen. When you find it, tap Enable, sign in to your Roku account, and select the Roku device you want to link (or Select All if you have more than one). First, you'll have to link both accounts by opening the Alexa mobile app, selecting Skills & Games, and searching for Roku.
