Can someone give me a brief overview of the functionality of including Chromecast Audio in HA? Based on what I have observed, CA only works with local content played on the same device running HA. Is that correct? Is there any way for HA to see content from other devices? Similar to how it sees content casted to regular Chromecast?
If that was possible, I feel like it wouldn’t be that hard to duplicate the features being described for Google Home
You can see what’s is being played, pause/play/stop and control volume.
It’s possible to play content from remote server in automations or using Input Select Component but there was no way to simply cast music from HA. Just preprogram options from menu.
If you get creative you can maybe make something that will work.
