Hey There,
I am using Home assistant in a docker container and want to use adb with my Chromecast with Google-TV.
I got it to work one year ago, but a few months ago I had to change the IP of my Chromecast and the integration stopped working. I tried numerous times to configure it again with the new IP but nothing works.
When it worked, I used the Python ADB Implementation.
I also considered using the ADB Server, but I’m not sure how to do that with Home Assistant Docker.
Does anybody have an Idea how to fix this?
What is your networking method?
Did you go through adb troubleshooting and confirm theses are not issue?
The Container is running as network host. And I’ve gone through all the troubleshooting steps but failed at the last one, deploying an ADB server.
Is there anything in HA logs regarding ADB?
There should be something explaining connection issue.
Maybe Key is no longer vailid and you must force new key creation?
Can you use another device to confirm the adb connection is possible to the device? really if you can confirm the connection is possible from the host PC running HA that is enough. Dont want to waste time checking HA issue to find it is adb connection issue.
This is the log in HA:

I’ve tried to connect with my normal PC and there is no problem, but when I try it with my HA host machine, It doesn’t connect.
Host and HA are using same key and same ADB correct?
I would verify key is still valid and no issue with it.
Else I would determine why host cannot connect.
