I don't know it but this repository was posted in the tweakers domoticz topic last week by user zeu: https://github.com/balloob/pychromecast
He has created a simple web interface himself to use with it and put it here: https://github.com/roberthorlings/chromecast-web maybe you can use these repositories to create your wanted situation.

listener = mediaListener(domoticz, 106)

cast.media_controller.register_status_listener(listener)

while (1):
    pass

It's a draft and seems to work.. Setting a virtual switch on / off, according to the playing state. And also populates a uservariable with the current state.

I don't have any lights connected, so haven't checked how well this works.. (The lights are in development..)

Are you running on a raspberry pi? Looks like I have python 2.7 on my Pi and the script is made for 3 right ?
