About
Google Cast is a built-in integration that connects Cast devices to Home Assistant as media players. It communicates with the devices locally, and Home Assistant finds them on the network and offers to add them. Setup is done in the UI, where known hostnames or IP addresses can be added if automatic discovery does not work. The options also allow limiting which devices are added by listing their UUIDs, and a list of Chromecasts can be set to ignore CEC data when determining the active input. An action is included that shows a dashboard view on a Cast device.
