I couldn’t find my remote going to bed. So I asked Google to shut off the TV and it did. WTF? The Chromecast is just plugged into the HDMI and the TV is 5 years old. No way that functionality should link up.
The HDMI standard allows for multiple data streams. In addition to the video and audio, it can also send/receive control signals. In addition to powering the TV on and off, you can probably do other things, such as control the volume, change channels, etc. Try it!
