It may be manually installed in HassOS via ssh:

apk add --update py-pip
python3 -m pip install catt
pip install --upgrade pip

Step 2. In the configuration of this addon add this (it will install CATT everytime the whole system is rebooted, this is needed as the container of the addon is clean at every system reboot)
init_commands:
- python3 -m pip install catt

I too strongly feel this would be a good addition, as it would allow Home Assistant users to make use of proprietary “smart displays” which support Google Cast.
