    You can purchase it now, it is in the store: https://shop.homeseer.com/collection...lug-in-for-hs3

    For all my plugins I always keep a "Beta testing" thread open where I post new versions with fixes and new features.

      Whenever I reboot my SEL, the plugin turns on my 2 TVs that have Chromecast2s on them and leaves the blue chromecast icon screen showing. On the 2 Google Home devices I hear an announcement "Web server port number is 8086".

      This is what I see in the log.

      Oct-21 5:57:33 PM Chromecast INFO (Bedroom TV,Master Bedroom,Living Room TV,Living Room): Web server port number is 8086
      A rather undesirable effect. How can this be turned of?

        in scripts/Startup.vb delete or comment out the following line:

        Code:

          I am building a screen in HSTouch and get the attached error when changing the volume.
          Is it because the volume is with a lot of numbers?
          Value 20.0000002980232 = "20%"

            Thanks! That fixed it.

              I'm not sure, but it looks like HSTouch doesn't like that.
              I will try to round the volume values to the nearest integer in the next version

                I noticed something similar. I have my Chromecast connected to my AVR with CEC enabled. When motion is detected on one of my ZWave sensors, my TV would turn on. Very odd. This problem went away when I disabled that particular Chromecast in the plugin. I, however, don't get any indication in the logs to show it's activating the CEC function of my Chromecast which in event looks like whats turning the tv on.

                  If you have a Speak action somehow linked to your ZWave sensors, this could trigger this behavior, as the chromecast would turn on the AVR and TV to speak the text.

                    I installed the new beta and was able to put in the right url now. Unfortunately I wasn't able to cast it. The default media receiver opens but nothing happens.

                      any error in the logs?
                      can you try with a simple mp4 url like this one: https://commondatastorage.googleapis...GoogleCast.mp4

                      If it works with the mp4 url, could you pm me the url you are trying to cast?

                        As an option, can the Speak Proxy be limited to Chromecast Audio and Google Home?

                          Disable the Chromecast in config and it won't speak.

                            minor bug

                            minor bug:
                            Code:
                            Chromecast	ERROR DeleteOldWaveFiles Directory '/opt/HomeSeer\html\Wave' not found.
                            Version: 3.0.0.5

                            I assume this is because I'm running on Linux; /opt/HomeSeer/html/Wave, on the other hand, does exist =)

                              It is fixed in version 3.0.0.6, the volume device value is now rounded to the nearest integer.

                              In the same version I have added an "Artist" device, and added support for Chromecast groups. Please test and let me know.

                                If it's not a lot of work for you then I would very much appreciate this addition to keep backward compatibility with existing events that specify a different path.
