Failed to extract volume information from status_output for Google Nest Hub. Using default volume 5

[sebastian-bugajny]

Is that expected:

2023-07-25 13:20:20.179 WARNING (MainThread) [custom_components.continuously_casting_dashboards.dashboard_caster] Failed to extract volume information from status_output for Google Nest Hub.

Want to add I've configured volume like:

continuously_casting_dashboards: logging_level: debug cast_delay: 45 volume: 4 start_time: "06:30" end_time: "00:00" devices: "Google Nest Hub": dashboard_url: "http://192.168.10.187:8123/google-nest/main?kiosk"

I'm using HA version 2023.7.2 continuously_casting_dashboards: 1.2.6

Hey @sebastian-bugajny it looks like you have the volume in the wrong section. Could you remove it from the top of you config and place it inside the 'devices' section for each device? For example here is my config:

  logging_level: debug
  cast_delay: 25
  start_time: "06:00"
  end_time: "02:00"
  devices:
    "Kitchen display":
      dashboard_url: "http://192.168.12.104:8123/kitchen-dashboard/default_view?kiosk"
      volume: 5
      start_time: "06:00"
      end_time: "03:00"

Hey @b0mbays I've done exactly like you recommend but still the same

It looks like the device is now being set correctly:

2023-07-26 09:38:04.083 INFO (MainThread) [custom_components.continuously_casting_dashboards.dashboard_caster] Setting volume to 40...

Can you check the device after the cast to see if it is?

The warning about not being able to extract is OK, this is a feature where CCD will try and read the current volume and leave it unchanged after the cast. However some devices are unable to be read so this will always fail.

[b0mbays]

Is your issue that the casting is not working at all? I see in your log it is trying to cast again after

[sebastian-bugajny]

Yeah it doesn't work at all and based on logs I don't have any more clues what might be wrong.

[b0mbays]

Can you access the dashboard using the URL on the same network as your hub?

http://192.168.10.187:8123/google-nest/main?kiosk

What behaviour do you see on the hub too? Do you see a "Dash cast" screen and then it goes off? Or nothing at all.

[sebastian-bugajny]

Yes I can. I'm getting login webpage and after providing creds dashboard is loading. I tried to bypass login by applying

homeassistant: external_url: "https://my.external.endpoint" auth_providers:

• type: trusted_networks trusted_networks:
  • 192.168.10.0/24 trusted_users: 192.168.10.44: kiosk allow_bypass_login: true
• type: homeassistant

but after restarting I'm loosing access via external endpoint and internally I can only login to maintenance mode.

[b0mbays]

What happens on the Google Hub? What do you see when it is trying to cast?

[sebastian-bugajny]

When I run manually casting via catt like:

catt -d 192.168.10.44 cast_site http://192.168.10.187:8123/google-nest/main?kiosk

It starts casting and I'm getting login webpage for HA

[sebastian-bugajny]

When I replaced device_name: "Google Nest Hub": with it's local IP address: 192.168.10.44 it started working

[b0mbays]

The naming of the Hub might be incorrect (capital letters etc). Can you do a 'catt scan' manually and see what you get?

If you are getting a login screen then that means your trusted users section is not setup correctly. Can you post that from your config?

[sebastian-bugajny]

Yeah I did a scan and name was correct, but it doesn't matter as it works with IP so all good. Problem with trusted users have been also removed and it works like a charm from yesterday ( catt + ha-catt-fix + continuously_casting_dashboards )/ Thank you for all your help.

Nice, great to hear! No problem
