Entity changed dashboard casting does not seem to respect "ignore any devices that are currently playing any media/timers/recipes etc." #6

I just turned the dryer on and my "Laundry" dashboard started casting which is great, but it stopped the music that was playing on the Hub.

Hey, yeah that is how I designed it to work initially. My thought process was that it would override anything that is happening on the device (for important things such as the doorbell ringing to show camera dashboards etc..).

However, I can add an optional override for each trigger to only cast to that device when there is no media playing? (Cast only if there is nothing happening or there is a dashboard on there already)

Your reasoning makes sense but you should have heard the grief I got from the family when the music stopped!

An override per trigger would be great, then I could set some to interrupt (camera) and some to not (laundry).

Just published a new version 1.1.3 for this feature, to get the update just restart HA and check in HACS. I have set it to 'false' by default, so you can enable/disable this for different triggers 😄

Give it a go and let me know if you have any issues 👍 Thanks for the ideas too, if you have any more just raise an issue!

I'll look into custom time windows per device for the next update.

I tried this today, seems to be working!

Thanks again!
