Issue: Google Chromecast unusable (official Athom app). App and Google Devices is shown with warning symbol and status “crashed” and all my Homey Pro (early 2023) flows are thus dead. Question: Am I the only one affected and do you know any fix? When problem appeared: About one month ago? Possibl…

There is a test update of the Google Chromecast app: v. 6.0.7. You could try this version and check if this will solve your issue. It works for me; before Chromecast just would play one time, and than you had to restart the app. [image] Google Chromecast Een slimme manier om jouw cont…
