Google Cast devices like Android TVs and Chromecasts will be automatically discovered if you enable the discovery component. 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:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: cast

Configuration variables:

{% linkable_title Example %}

By setting host: you can specify the Chromecast to use.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  - platform: cast
    host: 192.168.1.10
