Using CATT

Configuration
161

(see this link for install instructions)

yes, i was also getting the beep every 10 minutes, to solve it, i created this in the cast.sh file that I now use:

if ! catt -d "Living Room display" status | grep 'PLAYING'; then 
    catt -d "Living Room display" volume 0
    catt -d "Living Room display" cast_site http://192.168.178.87:8123/lovelace-test/0
fi

It checks if anything is playing, then it wont cast. If nothing is playing, it turns the volume off and casts the screen. I just leave the volume off. Whenever I say “ok google” the volume goes back on anyway. you could turn the volume back on after the cast, but that also makes a sound.

The automation I use to cast the cast.sh file is:

- id: '1589529246400'
  alias: CastToHub
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - minutes: /10
    platform: time_pattern

    before: '23:30'
