How does Home Assistant Cast work?
+
+ Why does Home Assistant Cast require me to authorize my Home Assistant + instance? +
+
+

+ You're currently looking at the Home Assistant Cast launcher + application. This is a standalone application to launch Home Assistant + Cast on your Chromecast. Because Chromecasts do not allow us to log in + to Home Assistant, we need to supply authentication to it from the + launcher. This authentication is obtained when you authorize your + instance. Your authentication credentials will remain in your browser + and on your Cast device. +

+

+ Your authentication credentials or Home Assistant url are never sent + to the Cloud. You can validate this behavior in + the source code. +

+

+ The launcher application exists to make it possible to use Home + Assistant Cast with older versions of Home Assistant. +

+

+ Starting with Home Assistant 0.97, Home Assistant Cast is also built + into the Lovelace UI as a special entities card row. Since the + Lovelace UI already has authentication, you will be able to start + casting right away. +
