Is there a way to implement a listener to this node? My intention would be if I start to play something on my chromecast, or google mini, node-red would be able to respond to it.

Like casting a video to chromescast should automatically turn on TV. To accomplish this I need an active listener, which watches the current status.

( I have a very similar implementation, where homeautomation watches the cast devices, and updates it's internal status, then an other package reads the states from HA and transfers it to NodeRed. However I want to get rid of HA, and this functionality keeps it back)

Thank you

No, as it does not maintain an open connection. You'd have to poll on an interval.

3.0.0, which should be live, should allow for this now. You can specify a connection that is kept open now and should stay connected to the cast target. When that cast target gets status messages from a receiver it should now publish that state out so you can use it to trigger other stuff.

I still need to put in a state publish of some sort for platform changes (i.e., on app open / close, volume changes, etc.), but for now this new style should give you a good idea of where its going.

I added an event that gets fired off on platform changes too to cover that hole.

Resolved in 3.0.0, please let me know if you have issues!
