Hi All,
First post on here so hopefully not covering something that has already been discussed or resolved but I couldn’t find anything related.
Fairly new to HA so sorry if this is an easy one.
I’m looking to use two Google Chromcast’s and two PIR sensors to duplicate the content\media from one room to the other based on presence.
I have the below so far all works minus the actual casting of the media, the other chromecast just displays the standard image that loads when something is getting ready to cas but nothing is displayed.
alias: Move Media CC Kitch - FR TEST
description: ""
trigger:
- type: occupied
platform: device
device_id: b6bd9dbb7832a6830826b6c56876a5d0
entity_id: binary_sensor.occupancy
domain: binary_sensor
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: media_player.kitchen_tv
state: playing
action:
- service: media_player.turn_on
entity_id: media_player.front_room_tv
- delay: "00:00:05"
- service: media_player.media_pause
entity_id: media_player.kitchen_tv
- service: media_player.play_media
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.front_room_tv
media_content_type: "{{ states.media_player.kitchen_tv.attributes.media_content_type }}"
media_content_id: "{{ states.media_player.kitchen_tv.attributes.media_content_id }}"
- service: media_player.media_play
entity_id: media_player.front_room_tv
- delay: "00:00:05"
- service: media_player.media_play
data: {}
target:
entity_id:
- media_player.kitchen_tv
mode: single
I think its an issue with the lack of detail on media type and ID as below;
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.front_room_tv
media_content_type: "{{ states.media_player.kitchen_tv.attributes.media_content_type }}"
media_content_id: "{{ states.media_player.kitchen_tv.attributes.media_content_id }}"
I have tried adding other state attributes but when using the above it fails as below when adding this;
media_position: "{{ states.media_player.kitchen_tv.attributes.media_position }}"
I have also tested using the below but get the same error
media_position: "{{ state_attr('media_player.kitchen_tv', 'media_position') }}"
Thanks to all any help would be great.
Cheers
