Home Assistant integrates with Chromecast devices like Chromecasts, Google Nest hubs and Android TVs. When integrated, it will allow you to see what is currently playing and control playback.
|
||||
|
||||
You can enable the Cast integration by going to the Integrations page inside the config panel.

## Home Assistant Cast
|
||||
|
||||
Home Assistant has its own Cast application to show the Home Assistant UI. You can load it on your Chromecast by adding the [Cast entity row](/lovelace/entities/#cast) to your Lovelace UI or by using the `cast.show_lovelace_ui` service.

You can load it on your Chromecast by adding the [Cast entity row](/lovelace/entities/#cast) to your Lovelace UI or by using the `cast.show_lovelace_ui` service. The service takes the path of a Lovelace view and an entity ID of a Cast device to show the view on.

"view_path": "lights"
|

}

```

## Advanced use
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Home Assistant Cast requires your Home Assistant installation to be accessible via `https://`. If you're using Home Assistant Cloud, you don't need to do anything. Otherwise you must make sure that you have configured the `base_url` for [the `http` integration](/components/http/).

This is the first release of Home Assistant Cast, and so we focused on the minimum that was worthy of a release. We still have some more things planned:
|
||||
|
||||
- Allow starting Home Assistant Cast from Home Assistant itself (not a browser), as part of an automation or script.

- Allow starting Home Assistant Cast from Home Assistant itself (not a browser), as part of an automation or script. [This is live now since Home Assistant 0.99.](/components/cast/#home-assistant-cast)

- Use Home Assistant Cast as a text-to-speech target (inspired by [lovelace-browser-commander by @thomasloven](https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-browser-commander)).
