Invisible when casting

[TomaszDom]

Mini climate card is invisible when the view is cast, at least to my Google Nest Hub 2nd Gen. All other cards show up correctly.

I'm running Home Assistant 2022.4.7 with mini-climate-card v2.1.1.

I never tried to cast my HA before. I wanted to check what I can do but the cast feature is completely messed up (at least for me) and sadly I have no way to debug why that happens to you... If anyone with the tech skills and a proper device to cast to can have a look I will happily assist

[TomaszDom]

By messed up do you mean you get a white screen? I also have this problem, I work around it by first casting a much simpler view, waiting a few seconds and then casting the target view (as an automation of course).

[regevbr]

I spent a good amount of time reading through the blogs and forums and the conclusion is always that no one can reliably get custom cards to work... There is no proper way to debug the cast (even if I did manage to cast it) so sadly I will have to leave this issue unresolved (unless someone is willing to take care of it)

[swiergot]

From https://cast.home-assistant.io/faq.html:

WHY DO SOME CUSTOM CARDS NOT WORK?

Some custom cards rely on things that are only available in the normal Home Assistant interface. This requires an update by the custom card developer.

If you're a custom card developer: the most common mistake is that LitElement is extracted from an element that is not available on the page.

Does it mean anything to you?

[regevbr]

It does, I read it before, still, sadly, I don't know why it does not work :-( All the lit elements I rely on come repacked into this card, I don't rely on them coming from HA

[Ovidiu1973]

Great card, I have started using it, but when I try to cast on a Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen), the cards are not showing up

I have the same issue.

P.S. Other customs cards are Ok.

[regevbr]

a PR is more than welcome, I don't know how to handle that

[Ovidiu1973]

sorry, I'm a beginner in HA, what means PR ? yaml code ? To simulate the error you need to use https://cast.home-assistant.io/ and to have NabuCassa or cloud-enable thru (Cloudflare). You can cast on any compatible device with, same error (not casting the cards) also on a TV (LG)

[regevbr]

PR = github pull request. Meaning if someone can find the issue and fix it, I will check the fix and release a new version. Sadly, I don't have the capacity or the knowledge to fix that issue
