Google Cast devices like Android TVs and Chromecasts will be automatically
|
|
discovered if you enable [the discovery component](/components/discovery/). If
|
|
you don't have the discovery component enabled, you can enable the Cast
|
|
component by going to the Integrations page inside the config panel.
|
|
|
|
## {% linkable_title Advanced use %}
|
|
|
|
The Cast component has some extra configuration options available for advanced
|
|
users. You will still need to create a config entry to initialize the Cast
|
|
component.
|
|
|
|
For example, Cast devices can only be discovered if they are on the same subnet
|
|
as Home Assistant. If this is not the case,
|
|
you want to configure the IP address of the Cast device directly:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
cast:
|
|
media_player:
|
|
- host: 192.168.1.10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
<p class='note'>
|
|
You may need to enable Multicast DNS (MDNS) on your router if you are on a different subnet or VLAN.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
type: list
|
|
{% endconfiguration %}
|
|
|
|
If you want to manually configure multiple Cast media players, you can define
|
|
those as follows:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry for multiple devices
|
|
cast:
|
|
media_player:
|
|
- host: IP_ADDRESS_DEVICE_1
|
|
- host: IP_ADDRESS_DEVICE_2
|
|
```
