Ok jumping into this too
Whats the best method now?
Using this workaround?
Will the photo album/clock on google still work?
I agree with @licky_lauda that we dont want the screen to burn in @Nicky how are you using it now? It still works?
burn in isnt an issue. This is an issue on a lot of devices like phones, because they use OLED screens. The Nest Hub uses an LCD screen, like computer monitors.
On second thought, it is an issue if you are using Home Assistant cast on an OLED TV.
iām trying to cast this alsoā¦
My script looks like this
cast_dashboard_naar_keuken:
alias: HA dashboard naar keuken
icon: mdi:cast
sequence:
- data:
dashboard_path: lovelace_tablet
entity_id: media_player.keuken
view_path: Home
service: cast.show_lovelace_view
When i activate it, i see onm hub home assistant connected nabu case
and it stays on that screen, i dont see my dashboad, then i swipe and its gone
when i call it back, nothing comes, when i try the day after, i get the same
You may need to have home in lowercase for your view_path, both in lovelace and in the automation. Not sure itāll fix it but Iād try anyway to keep names lowercase especially when theyāre not being displayed
how do you fix the login into HA via catt?
I tried it and I get prompted with the login page, but of course I get no keyboard to enter username or passwordā¦
[edit]
Ignore the above, because the page was dark I could not see the ātrusted networkā option below the login button. All sorted and actually works much better than the standard cast.show_lovelace_view as I can see the background picture that I had set up (cctv feed)
You can copy/paste this configuration in your automation.yaml and replace my hub name with yours
Make a new file via file editor, name it cast.sh and copy/paste the code I wrote in the post above.
