Using CATT

Configuration
33

:slight_smile:

34

I have the same problem on 0.97.2…starts to load my lovelace page then google hub crashes.

35

Are you using the IP address or a host name for the cast_site? I didn’t get it to work until I switched to the IP address.

36

something like this?

catt -d 'Kitchen display' cast_site 'https://192.168.0.71:8123/lovelace/0'

The google hub gets stuck on the dashcast screen. Says “force loading: https://192.168.0.71:8123/lovelace/0”

37

it won’t be https:// though if it’s using the ip address…

38

Have you added the trusted networks in your configuration.yaml under the homeassistant section?

auth_providers:
  - type: trusted_networks
    trusted_networks:
      - 192.168.0.0/24
39

I’ve tried adding that but it crashes my lovelace. Is this where i put it? I think it’s formatted correctly.

homeassistant:
  auth_providers:
    - type: trusted_networks
      trusted_networks:
        - 192.168.0.0/24
40

The homeassistant section should already exist at the top of the file. If you are adding another, it will be an error. Please post the error message when you get errors, it saves a lot of guessing.

41

I have added auth-providers but mine get stuck with s HA logo at the top and a button with the text “start Over” in the midlle of the screen :frowning:

42

I run Hass.IO in a Docker container on a Debian host system. Should CATT be installed in the host Debian environment, or within the Hass.IO Docker environment?

43

It can be installed anywhere.

44

Same Issue here. Trusted networks is added. I have tried with both my own hass.io and the demo.

It can however play Rick Astley…

Hope someone can help!

45

Same thing here with a brand new and pristine Google Chromecast Ultra. :frowning:

46

Having the same problem too.

Brand new Google Hub which I can cast other websites to, but not HA. Have also tried by nabu casa link, and the HA Demo, but same issue.

Also tried casting to TV but no luck

47

Is there a way to invoke CATT from Home Assistant or Node-Red?

48

It is just a command line, so use a command line switch.

49

Just tried this and it didn’t work. Does Catt need to be installed in a specific directory? I run Hassio on an Unraid machine. From the console everything works fine. Any ideas? I’m just doing

command_on: ‘catt -d “SHIELD” cast_site “https://xxxx/0”’

50

Perhaps give the full path to catt

@juice @FredTheFrog
Have either of you had any luck getting this to work?

52

No :frowning: unfortunately not, started using hass cast during to the new service availability…
