Since the last update to Homey Pro (2023) my Google Chromecast does not cast audiofiles anymore. I didn’t make any changes but he does not play any file anymore. Who has the same problem?? Henk ---

I always advice to restart Homey after each firmware update, it solved the weirdest problems. I also advise to disable auto updates, to prevent you from these ‘surpises’ / ‘side effects’. You then can install updates when it suits you, and have some spare minutes/hours to fix anything going wrong. ---

I allways restarts homey after updates, and these are not atomatic. But there is something wrong. When i use Home Assistent with the google home speakers everything works fine. Something between Homey and Google Chromecast app (also from Athom) is causing this. Already made a support ticket. ---
