Nope, can’t see them.
Today, I’m getting a “Not connected” error.
I’ve moved over to an alternative solution Catt. Still had a few networking headaches, but Catt seems to be working for me.

I assume CATT is this https://github.com/skorokithakis/catt
Are you running it on a separate instance of Linux and what distro?
I’m running it on Hassio using this method. Have a read through that thread for options/experiences. It’s been working reliably for me. Using CATT
How are you casting an auth’d version of the HASS UI if going down the CATT route? This is the bit I can’t work out.
I have found that it (hopefully) reliably works for me if I send three service calls: turn off; then cast default_view; then cast the view I want.
I had also blocked the hub’s access to 4.4.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 as per some other suggestion. However, when I unblocked it, it continued to work.
The main problem now seems to be it only lasts about 10 minutes and then reverts to the clock/photos, so I have to keep re-casting.
I’m using HA Supervised 0.110.3 and I can see custom cards.

Has anyone got a decent step by step guide to getting this working yet? I dont mean just the code but some of the stuff that people are finding helps e.g. blocking google DNS. I can get it casting from a webbrowser but cant get anything casting direct from HA to my nest hub.
This seems to work for me. A bit weird workaround, but better than getting stuck in the connected screen 
I have just recently started to cast lovelace view and your script worked.
Custom cards work for me if I put in Configuration/Lovelace Dashboards,
/local/community/path_to_custom_card, in addition to
/hacsfiles/path_to_custom_card. Both paths needs to be there,
which I learned from another thread.
Thanks. Unfortunately, I have already that in my Configuration>Lovelave Dashboards>Resources.
Oh… I see.
I am no expert in this field, but just to share my setup which might be relevant are,
- external_url is https domain_name and internal_url is also https IP_address.
because I cannot local access hassio with http. (I don’t know what is causing this) - I have not blocked anything like google’s 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4.
- I do not subscribe to Nabu casa cloud.
- Firmware for nest hub shows,
System firmware version: 229149
Cast firmware version: 1.50.229149
One thing I would like to stop is the “Ding” sound when I see “Connected” at the
HA icon/heartmark/Nabu Casa screen.
Can I do that, without muting the whole volume, if you know please?
Hi, someone see my fault?
when i start a cast over the service like this:
and the path is set:
it say “Connected” Error: Unable to find a view with path fussball
ok, with this works:
entity_id: media_player.gh_kuche
view_path: fussball
dashboard_path: lovelace
but the customer Cards are not show?
Not working here but it seems that you need to add the custom cards paths in configuration>Lovelace Dashboard>Resources.
Hi All,
I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong but I receive this message:
"Failed to call service cast/show_lovelace_view. "
I can cast from the browser: https://cast.home-assistant.io/
Please help me
Solution:
Config => General => input and external link.
heyy guys, after several trial and error I found the following:
the cast service will only work if called twice and on the first call with the wrong dashboard_path.
my script:
cast weather:
alias: cast weather
sequence:
- service: cast.show_lovelace_view
data:
dashboard_path: lovelace2
view_path: weather
entity_id: media_player.rigel
- delay: 00:00:05
- service: cast.show_lovelace_view
data:
dashboard_path: lovelace
view_path: weather
entity_id: media_player.rigel
mode: single
icon: mdi:weather-cloudy
note that “lovelace2” does not exist.
also custom cards (from hacs) will not load, returning an error.
edit:
CSS background images are also not loaded.
Footer (graph) in entities card will also not load.
hope this helps someone.
