Just noticed recently that Yi have done the necessary and have made their Yi Home cameras viewable using Google Home and Chromecast. As the Yi cameras have been popular on HUKD I thought it would be useful to highlight this new functionality.
The process is described discussed in this thread on the Yi Forums.
The thread is a bit rambling as the link between Google Home and Yi was not initially stable but it's working for me at the moment. Although I do not have any, apparently the Yi IOT devices are now also supported. Note that some of the oldest Yi home camera devices do not work, I have an indoor 720p camera that doesn't work with Google Home.
Hope this is useful.

sorted byYou'll need a voice command to do it. E.g. if you have a Google Mini, ask it to "Show [Garden] on the TV". That should once you have linked the cammeras through the Home app
Thanks mate! I’ll try borrow a google mini and try. Gutted if it is as it was only an extra tenner with my tv but didn’t bother at the time as we are already set up as a alexa home😔
Thanks for input. This help me setting up my device in a minute.
