pnbruckner · January 19, 2019, 2:18am

I have one chromecast that HA has found and I see these errors every once in a while. (I don’t really use it from HA, but I haven’t taken the time to figure out how to disable it.)

If this is happening constantly, all the time, then obviously you have a communications problem. But if it only happens from time to time, and things are otherwise generally working, then you can disable the message via the logger. You’d have to set the level for pychromecast.socket_client (or just pychromecast) to critical.

I didn’t know about the logger this is really helpful
thank you
