I had the Chromecast Radio working wonderfully and then I updated to .87 and now it does not work.
Anyone experience this before?
I disabled the volume section of the code and it started working again. Which is fine cause that volume slider never worked

media_content_type: 'music'Hi lollo78,
Thanks for this list!
I am an Italo-Canadian and love listening to Italian music every once in awhile. When I worked in Italy, I used to listen to RIN because it was the only real station I knew. Unfortunately, it’s hard to keep “up to date” with new music coming out.
I was wondering if you could potentially let me know what the best Italian stations are for the following if possible (excuse my ignorance with some of my “terminology”):
Guys I messed something up and I’m not sure what it is, I can start and stop the radio stations fine but the volume slider isn’t working anymore. When I change the value nothing happens unless I go to my automation and manually trigger it then it sets the volume as per the slider. Any ideas?

I moved some speakers around so had to update the enitity names etc… but they all appear correct now as when I do hole_house they all come on and i’m also able to turn on the individual speakers.
Looks like your indentations are messed up.

Once HA was up and running again I forgot that with an issue like that it switches all your automations off. Simply toggled them back on and all good now.
Thanks for this script by the way working a treat

started with radio playing over my google home’s, thought Id add my 2 cents to this thread, and share my newly created package. Not a lot of radiostations selected yet, but added a few templating techniques I didn’t see yet here. cut some code

up next is creating a tiles section for the radio station selection, and of course Lovelace…
looks great! Might steal some code from you!
I’m only using a script without variables to start a radio on my Google Home. However both radios need between 5-20s to start. I can hear the notification sound for casting immediately, but it needs time to play the music.
Is it the same for you?
cool, that’s why I shared. btw, updated the package to incorporate some alarm clock and lullaby radios. also some miner tweaks. Need to develop the alarmclock scripts, because now they are verbose and silly…
No, whenever I click play, the radio immediately plays. Do notice some delays with tts though when the system is busy.
What bugs me for now is the radio stops playing when a tts is also engaged.
Save the media_player status before playing TTS then restore once TTS play is over…
that sound like a solution, and I would have to do that probably in my generic notification script:
intercom_message:
alias: 'Intercom message'
sequence:
- condition: template
value_template: >
{{ is_state('input_boolean.announce_googlehome', 'on') }}
- service: tts.google_say
data_template:
language: >
{{states('input_select.language')|lower}}
entity_id: >
{{states('sensor.googlehome')}}
message: >
{{message}}
intercom_message:
alias: 'Intercom message'
sequence:
- condition: template
value_template: >
{{ is_state('input_boolean.announce_googlehome', 'on') }}
- service: [safe media_player state]
- service: tts.google_say
data_template:
language: >
{{states('input_select.language')|lower}}
entity_id: >
{{states('sensor.googlehome')}}
message: >
{{message}}
- service: [restore media_player state]
but how can one save that?
create a few input_text entities and save the data there
Here is an example from a different post a few days ago:
- alias: 'Garage Stream with Motion'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.garage_motion
to: 'on'
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.house_mode
state: Home
action:
# save current TV state
- service: input_text.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_text.tv_source
value: "{{ state_attr('media_player.tv','source') }}"
- service: input_text.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_text.tv_media_content_id
value: "{{ state_attr('media_player.tv','media_content_id') }}"
- service: input_text.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_text.tv_media_content_type
value: "{{ state_attr('media_player.tv','media_content_type') }}"
- service: input_text.set_value
data_template:
entity_id: input_text.tv_media_content_position
value: "{{ state_attr('media_player.tv','media_position') }}"
# add more of these as needed based on your setup / what you're watching
- service: camera.play_stream
data:
entity_id: camera.garage_camera
media_player: media_player.tv
# Wait for end of motion or 30 sec, whichever comes first
- wait_template: "{{ is_state('binary_sensor.garage_motion', 'off') }}"
timeout: '00:00:30'
continue_on_timeout: 'true'
# Restore TV State
- service: media_player.select_source
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.tv
source: '{{states("input_text.tv_source")}}
- service: media_player.play_media
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.tv
media_content_id: '{{states("input_text.tv_media_content_id")}}
media_content_type: '{{states("input_text.tv_media_content_type")}}'
- service: media_player.media_seek
data_template:
entity_id: media_player.tv
seek_position: '{{states("input_text.media_position")}}
A yes, I see. Thanks, that’s really robust and big.
Let me try to see if that would be of use in my setup. would only need it if a had turned on the radio before =, using one of my scripts posted above. In which case I could simply check for that and rerun the script again…I think.
Anyone can give me a hand on using youtube links instead of radio links?
I gave it a try using media_extractor, but no result so far

fwiw, had a bit of a struggle, since I use templates for my players, which only tell me which player is selected, and don’t pass on the attributes ‘playing’, but think I made it solar using this:
intercom_message:
alias: 'Intercom message'
sequence:
- condition: template
value_template: >
{{ is_state('input_boolean.announce_intercom', 'on') }}
- service: script.radio_paused_for_message #check see below
- service: tts.google_say
data_template:
language: >
{{states('input_select.language')|lower}}
entity_id: >
{{states('sensor.intercom')}}
message: >
{{message}}
- condition: template
value_template: >
{{is_state('input_boolean.radio_paused','on')}}
# radio was paused, so return to playing
- service: script.play_radio #contains stream, volume, player
# and return the boolean to Off again
- service: input_boolean.turn_off
entity_id: input_boolean.radio_paused
# when a message comes in check if the intercom is identical to the current radio player, and if that is on
radio_paused_for_message:
alias: 'Radio paused for message'
sequence:
- condition: template
value_template: >
{{states('sensor.intercom') == states('sensor.media_player')}}
- condition: template
value_template: >
{% set player = states('sensor.media_player') %}
{% if player == 'media_player.googlehome_woonkamer'%} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_woonkamer','playing')}}
{% elif player == 'media_player.googlehome_hobbykamer' %} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_hobbykamer','playing')}}
{% elif player == 'media_player.googlehome_hall' %} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_hall','playing')}}
{% elif player == 'media_player.googlehome_master_bedroom' %} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_master_bedroom','playing')}}
{% else %} {{is_state('media_player.chromecastaudio_gym','playing')}}
{% endif %}
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
entity_id: input_boolean.radio_paused
works alright, need to think about a delay though since the radio starts playing already before the message has been intercommed…fear I need another of these large template as wait_template to check for intercom = ‘playing’ to be precise and not gamble.
- wait_template: >
{% set player = states('sensor.intercom') %}
{% if player == 'media_player.googlehome_woonkamer'%} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_woonkamer','off')}}
{% elif player == 'media_player.googlehome_hobbykamer' %} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_hobbykamer','off')}}
{% elif player == 'media_player.googlehome_hall' %} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_hall','off')}}
{% elif player == 'media_player.googlehome_master_bedroom' %} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_master_bedroom','off')}}
{% else %} {{is_state('media_player.chromecastaudio_gym','off')}}
{% endif %}
should be fairly straight forward, just add a wait_template:
- wait_template: "{{ states('media_player.googlehome_woonkamer') != 'playing' }}"
timeout: '00:00:15'
continue_on_timeout: 'true'
Only thing I’ve not tried yet if to see if you can use a sensor’s state to parse the media_player entity, like, but can’t see why it would not work:
- wait_template: "{{ states(sensor.media_player) != 'playing' }}"
timeout: '00:00:15'
continue_on_timeout: 'true'
No that was my first try, but the template only shows the entity_id of the media_player, and can’t read attributes:
I had already added the wait_template, but that needs to be as big as it is, because of the above:
intercom_message:
alias: 'Intercom message'
sequence:
- condition: template
value_template: >
{{ is_state('input_boolean.announce_intercom', 'on') }}
- service: script.radio_paused_for_message
- service: tts.google_say
data_template:
language: >
{{states('input_select.language')|lower}}
entity_id: >
{{states('sensor.intercom')}}
message: >
{{message}}
- condition: template
value_template: >
{{is_state('input_boolean.radio_paused','on')}}
- wait_template: >
{% set intercom = states('sensor.intercom') %}
{% if intercom == 'media_player.googlehome_woonkamer'%} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_woonkamer','off')}}
{% elif intercom == 'media_player.googlehome_hobbykamer' %} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_hobbykamer','off')}}
{% elif intercom == 'media_player.googlehome_hall' %} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_hall','off')}}
{% elif intercom == 'media_player.googlehome_master_bedroom' %} {{is_state('media_player.googlehome_master_bedroom','off')}}
{% else %} {{is_state('media_player.chromecastaudio_gym','off')}}
{% endif %}
- service: script.play_radio
- service: input_boolean.turn_off
entity_id: input_boolean.radio_paused
thanks!
ave you tried {{ states(sensor.media_player) != 'playing' }} without quotes around sensor.media_player?
Or {{ states(states.sensor.media_player.state) != 'playing' }} assuming returns a value like media_player.player_name ?
EDIT
{{ states(states.sensor.media_player.state) != 'playing' }} should work.
Here are the results of my test:
EDIT2:
or this {{states(states("sensor.media_player"))}} which is better
yess! works! great. Never new that… encapsulated states… learn something every day!
thank you very much indeed.
much shorter…
