Google Cast devices like Android TVs and Chromecasts will be automatically discovered if you enable [the discovery component]({{site_root}}/components/discovery/). There is an issue where Chromecasts can only be discovered if your device is connected to the same subnet as your Chromecast.
|
|
|
|
The Chromecast platform can also be forced to load by adding the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
media_player:
|
|
- platform: cast
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **host** (*Optional*): Use only if you don't want to scan for devices.
|
|
- **ignore_cec** (*Optional*) A list of Chromecasts that should ignore CEC data for determining the active input. [See the upstream documentation for more information.](https://github.com/balloob/pychromecast#ignoring-cec-data)
|
|
|

By setting `host:` you can specify the Chromecast to use.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
media_player:
|
|
- platform: cast
|
|
host: 192.168.1.10
|
|
```
