Background
This package started somewhere in 2020 as a simple script to resume a Google Cast device after it was interrupted by a TTS message. During the years more functionality was added, the Cast devices can also be resumed after playing an audio file, or casting a Home Assistant Dasboard.
In the past years I also created others scripts using the Google Home Resume script. There is a script to determine on which device a question was asked and send a TTS or play a file on that specific device. Another script stores the state of the cast devices in a template sensor, so it can be resumed in later (for example store it when you leave home, and restore it when you arrive home again).
All these scripts are now combined in one package
