Alright, I found the problem, it seems it has problems with playing big files… I converted the fireplace in 1080p and it took more then 3GB… Then I converted it to 720p: 1.73GB, and now it plays well…

23

Very cool, will try now

24

trying to make it work, when I press activate on front end it does start the chromecast icon on the TV, but nothing is projected. I also put a short video, but same

Maybe I made a mistake in configuration

# Script camino acceso
  camino:
    alias: Camino
    sequence:
      - alias: Media play camino
        service: media_player.play_media
        data:
          entity_id: media_player.cast_living
          media_content_type: video/mp4
          media_content_id: /local/Short.mp4
      - alias: Luci rosse
        service: scene.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: scene.dimmed_living

Probably, your link is not good… Before testing on your hass, check if you can open it in the browers…
on media_content_id, you need to locate your file… it before /local… put your host…

27

yes, that should work…

28

it works.

Now next step is integrate it with Google Home or Alexa: " Alexa, turn on fireplace"

ahaha.

You know how to do this?

29

Yes, I’m using tasker… by using Google… So I can say whatever I want with my voice and Google will execute it. This is because Google has Tasker integration. So whatever I’m saying in Google or using Google now, it will direct my command to tasker…
I work this way, because I’ve more control, and more important, I can use my own language…
Eg: when I say: Activeer Romantische Mode (Activate romantic mode in english), then my up/down lights on the wall will be dimmed at a certain percentage, the tv will power on, the backlight (ledstrips) behind my tv will color orange, and the tv will play a romantic video with romantic songs…

30

yeah, but prefer Google Home device, or Alexa device, instead of phone

31

you can also process your commands with alexa… With Google Home device, i’m not sure, I haven’t tested it yet…

32

It worked on local, but my SD card is filling up quickly, would rather put an online video. If you put a youtube URL is not working?

33

can you tell me how (with alexa)?

34

Just search on this forum, the’re many topics how you can process echo/alexa process voice commands…

36

why you use Haaska?
I forgot, now my emulated hue works fine, I just added SCRIPT (I had only switches), and it got the script of this thread. And works great!

37

I don’t use Haaska. I use Alexa Skills (the Alexa component). So that I can do things like:

Alexa, ask DeeDee what song is playing (song and artist are spoken by Alexa)
Alexa, ask DeeDee to put Nathan to bed (His lights turn off and a noise-maker turns on)
Alexa, tell DeeDee that I’m leaving (security alarm starts countdown, garage door opens, tv and non-essential lights turn off)

38

No way, tried the lambda aws, bla bla bla thing, it came out an error, too complicated for me

39

I don’t use Lamda. It was pretty easy to set up. As long as your HASS install is reachable from outside your network and has SSL working, it’s a 15 minute job, tops.

40

I did the let’s encrypt but i am not sure its working. How do i check_

41

The easiest way I can think of is to use your phone. Disconnect from wifi and use your data connection to see if you can reach HASS from your dynamic IP you set up.

42

How?

myname.duckdns.org in browser?

Tried it comes just the duckdns page.

If I add :8123 it get stuck.
