How to have a dark screen in the cast?
Actually i can have only a white screen also if in the UI i have a dark screen and while casting i don’t have visible the sidebar where eventually change my options…
EDIT: Solved adding this to the script:
- service: frontend.set_theme
data:
name: Google Dark Theme
mode: dark
Does anyone know about a problem with Cast?
everything worked since the feature was released for me, except for the past couple of days when the same dashboard casting won’t show the thermostat and other components that are in the dashboard.
For example, this is how the dashboard looks like:
I also had problems earlier that was fixed by an update but now suddenly buttons are not showing upp an cards when using the cast integration. Everything else works.
Yes, I have the same problem. All Grid Cards disappeared from Nest Hub2 after the last update. They show all right in browser and in mobile. I could not find any explanation or solution to this.
Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but will home assistant be implementing matter casting?
This would finally enable us to cast to Amazon devices.
This is my Google Home Hub that gets a Home Assistant dashboard casted to it.
Tonight I have realised that the below image is what I am shown with the background not black as it should be it’s like got confused as the cards show black as they should be.
Hub was set to auto as it has been since setup over 18 months ago so it casts between light and dark dashboards during the day depending on the light levels it receives no automation or anything for this just something it does which is great. I have now set it Dark mode manually within the Google Home app and am still getting this issue. Setting it manually to Light mode casts as expected with a white background and white cards.
However as this is next to my bed the dark mode is pretty critical for a good nights rest.
Little bit stumped on how to resolve. Have even tried setting a dark background on that dashboard as a temporary fix to darken it however that wallpaper doesn’t seem to want to push onto the cast either but not as fussed over that at the moment.
Have already tried manually setting the frontend.set_theme to Dark with no success in it working. Something clearing not quite right as you can see especially as the text is displaying as I would expect it to in white if it was in dark mode so it seems the main issue here for whatever reason is the background is like stuck on white which produced this weird issue.
As far as I can remember it was working last night and I haven’t changed any config etc at all today so unsure why the random issue. Have also tried the obvious of restarting the hub too and re-casting the dashboard multiples times. Have also tried other dashboard and get the same issue.
