Need some help solving my problem. I use homeydash on a google hub. Works like a charm. However i’ve got 2 buttons (virtual switch) that cast a 1)webcam feed and 2) a camera snapshot to the hub. Those buttons seize to function at random. What i found so far is that once in a random while the hub is unreachable according to homey. (shows the red sign in the tile). Stopping the homeydash cast and starting it again also doesn’t work, I suppose because the connection between homey and google. In the meantime if i just let it as is, the homeydash functions properly and all the sensors state changes are shown instantly. I can start a spotify stream or ask google to search for something without any issue’s. Rebooting google nest hub fixes the problem instanty. Anyone recoginising this behaviour? ---

Update; It seems that all functions keep working execpt casting something to the hub. I made a simple test flow (start flow switch light) wich always keeps working. However, casting a new webcam stream or camera snapshot seizes to work at random times. Restarting the cast of homeydash also doens’t work anymore at that point. A ptp of the google hub still fixes everything for a while. To me it looks like the problem lies in the casting part, but i’m not sure what to try next. Any thoughts? ---

Restarting the chromecast app seems to be the temporartly fix. So it’s not completely losing connection. Might just be the chromecast app itself ---

Can confirm the problem lies in the athom chromecast app. Restarting the app fixes it temporary 10/10. There is already a [Threat](https://community.homey.app/t/chromecast-issues-after-last-update-beta/15050/37) about the chromecast app. This threat can be closed. ---
