Cast component configuration?

Configuration
1

Anyone having issues with the new cast component?

My devices are not available if I add them manually - but are seen if I turn on discovery.

In configuration.yaml I have:
cast: !include media_player_cast.yaml

Then in media_player_cast.yaml I have:media_player:
media_player:
- host: 192.168.137.80

Not getting errors - but the google home devices aren’t showing up

Nobody have the issue?

Prior to 0.72 I had Google Homes being found by autodiscovery (didn’t realise you could statically discover them). When I updated to 0.72 they disappeared and wouldn’t show up and I hadn’t changed anything in my config.

I had to go to the new section in Configuration -> Integrations and click ‘Configure Google Cast’. After restarting, they then showed up.

Yes. It works with discovery.

  1. delete your media_player cast platform.
  2. enable discovery: in configuration.yaml
  3. restart your ha
  4. go to configurator> google cast configure it once.
  5. check your entity_registry.yaml in homeassistant folder, All your cast devices will show here.
  6. enity_id will be like media_player.yourdevicename
  7. name have to do in customize.yaml to get the frontend name you want.

Got it working slightly differently.

Added them as per the OP. Then when I go to Configuration -> Integrations - and configure Google Cast, they now all appear in their respective groups.
