Cast to Google Next Mini

Configuration
1

Hi. I have linked my Google home to HA using this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P35ANoelys, and added Ggggle Cast integration ().

I am using the folowing to play media

  - service: media_player.media_play
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.hall_speaker
    data: {}

My how do I get a media file (i.e. .mp3) onto the Pi running hassio and get it to play?

Regards,
Ben

Media tab on the left – ‘my media’ --manage – add media.

Don’t remember the exact YAML, but if you use the UI in the automation you can just select the file there.

Also, don’t believe you need to tie your Google account; it should just be auto-discovered on your network as a cast device.

BTW amazing name. :slight_smile:
