I use an Yamaha RX-A3030 as my main media player, but I have an issue. When trying to use the other zones than Main my Chromecast (video) will fail. I suppose it has to do with that the zones are analog and the Chromecast is digital output. However there is a nice trick to get it to work and that is to switch on Party Mode, then the media will flow out in all zones with nice synch and everything.
To the issue, I haven’t found any way to activate Party Mode from Home assistant. Do you know if it is possible?
If I can’t find a solution my work around will be to add a Chromecast Audio and connect it with an analog input and hope that is workning…
