Possibly your router does not support NAT loopback.
After looking into this it could be my problem. I can’t seem to find a concrete answer about my router (Linksys MR8300) supporting NAT loopback nor any settings for it so I am thinking the answer is no. With that said it sounds like I might be able to get around it by running my own DNS server in docker. I might try that. The alternative is to install OpenWRT firmware but my router is not officially supported yet.
Thanks for the advice!
Another possible workaround for NAT loopback instead of buying a new router is to install pfsense, pi-hole or DNSmasq
I am still as a question mark with this problem. Cast.show_lovelace_view is missing the history data. It used to work like charm, but not any more. I have tested with three different systems with and without Nginx (just a wild guess) but I just can not get it working. An example picture below:
Anyone, please - does it work for you? At least I can see couple other users in this thread struggling with this.
All around this discussion is a white beveled touchscreen running HA Cast. Please, folks, what is this one and do we have a list of cheap/preferable/good devices to use for HA cast? Thanks
I suspect you are referring to the Google Nest Hub.
Thanks! Looks neat and is actually even cheap but doesn’t seem to be mountable on the wall. Any other ideas for HA cast?
Can android tablets act as a chromecast receiver? I dunno.
Why are you so intent to use casting? Any recent enough android OS has a browser that will cope with the HA UI.
Have You find It?
Anyone can help me? Its being happening for a while , I cant change the views neither from HA cast nor thru call service , its being uselless using only one view

As suggested above I believe I am dealing with a NAT loopback problem. Cast isn’t important enough for me to buy new networking equipment so I was trying to test up a DNS server in docker but never did get that working.
I wish Cast was not so complex to implement but maybe I will get it working someday…
I am struggling with this problem to.
Could it be that the Home Assistant Cast user do not have access to the database with the history data?
Can add that I am using the Nabu Casa cloud service.
My latest experience with this issue:
It works but it needs random number of restarting the core. From the top of my hat I can say that maybe around once in twenty restart lovelace casting starts to work correctly. And it continues working reliably until next restart. Right now my only solution to keep it running is to avoid core restart as much as possible.
Why - I just do not have the slightest idea?

anyone can hel me how can I navigate thru the views? I used to use weblinks, but it looks like it´s not working anymore, I tried as scripts, calling cast service, but it works randomly not always change the views, anyone has any workaround?
Seeing the same issue on my Google Nest Hub using Home Assistant Cast. “Loading state history” for sensors never completes. I have also noticed that the calendar entries do not populate on the native calendar card. I have set up the NAT Loopback to make sure that is not the cause of my issues and it hasn’t helped. Would love some advice!

Hey guys, I seem to be able to cast from visiting my HA instance on my desktop pc or on my phone.
Although, if I open up my HA instance from the Android App (same phone, just going through the App instead of the web browser directly) then I get “Cast API not available”
Any ideas?
Thanks
Wouldn’t the disableIdleTimeout flag solve this issue?
Of course, if that option actually works, not like the other ones from the documentation.
