Vizio SmartCast service is accessible through HTTPS with self-signed certificate. It means that if you have low LOGLEVEL in your Home Assistant configuration, you'll see a lot of warnings like this `InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made.

As an option, you could proxy all calls for example through NGINX.
You can adjust the log level for `media_player` components with the [logger](https://home-assistant.io/components/logger/) component, or if you need to keep a low log level for `media_player` you could proxy calls to your TV through an NGINX reverse proxy.
