Domoticz

I started using the dashticz screen a while ago, and missed an easy way to cast directly to my chromecast audio. So I created a module, highly inspired by the streamplayer that is already integrated (it uses even the same streams from the config)

It looks like this: The play button is changed to the default cast button from google. When clicking on it, the default casting screen from chrome pops up, where you can select the available chromecasts in your network. The arrows on the left let you select the streams, on the right side the volume buttons are available.

The block is available as 'chromecast' in the config, for example The code is available on github: https://github.com/aiolos/dashticz_v2/tree/chromecast

Rob, I can make a pull request to integrate it, just let me know. It might need some tweaks for the sizes of the elements, since I use dashticz in portrait, so only one column.

Thanks for your efforts!!
You can create a pull request on the beta branch!

Nice addon! Works great on Chrome but unfortunately not on the browser app I use on my tablet (Fully Kiosk Browser). Does it only support chrome?

I guess it only works in Chrome, since that natively supports casting. I have not really looked into support on other browsers. I also noticed that if you add a direct link to the page on the home screen, the browser first needs to be started.

Works great even on the google home
Thanks

Works great in my desktop browser!

Would be so great if Spotify could be connected to this.

Only got this block to show

Hi Edwin, did you (or anybody else) ever managed to get this working?
I have the same problem as you described..
Been searching now for over 2 hours but couldn't find a solution...

code used in config.js is:

Spoiler: show

columns[2] = {}
columns[2]['blocks'] = [frames.weather,'chromecast',calendars.afval]
columns[2]['width'] = 5;

Thanks in advance,
Marcom

Same here, I have no idea how to get this to work. Anybody got a working setup and is willing to share how you did it?
