Disney in Google Nest Hub

[flequi19]

Is there a way to send some content from Netflix, Disney, Amazon (some website that has a password) through AUTOMATION to the Google Net Hub

Hi,
Think of the outcome from the point of view of the media owner.

You’re asking a FOSS platform which does not support Digital Restrictions Management to send copyrighted content which is locked behind an account, likely locked with DRM, locked with specific secure player restrictions to a Google device.

If you use a locked Android device with a locked Android app, then a locked Chromecast session can work - but only if the content owner specifically allows it (and even then live sports providers have been known to BAN chromecasting).

The closest I can think of is you CAN control a Google TV device but that is limited to controls such as launching a specific Android content provider app.

Controlling New Chromecast with Google TV

I have a chromecast on every tv, and automations and controllers set up to avoid having any remotes laying around. When a cast is started, HA responds and powers on the tv and any other necessary devices. I would love to try out the new Chromecast with Google TV, but I don’t want to need the remote. Has anyone tried it out yet? Does it respond all the same way with the basic Cast integration like the older chromecast? And can you send remote commands to it, either over IP, or via IR?

You can also use the HA Media AddOn to stream unencrypted media via Chromecasting (including HA dashboards with full touchscreen support - which is surprisingly useful).

Best regards,

James

You can try send a voice command through Google SDK.
