Hi ladies & gents,
I couldn’t find a topic about this, so I wanted to share this howto with y’all:
How to cast your Home Assistant dashboard to your Google Hub(s).
In HomeAssistant, you can add the network IP addresses of your hub(s) and HA instance, combined with your (or a user) ID, to create a login without having to enteri the, or your, credentials.
- Add this code to your HA configuration.yaml (assuming your subnet starts with 192.168.)
homeassistant:
auth_providers:
# - type: homeassistant # This shouldn't be here!
- type: trusted_networks
trusted_networks:
# - 192.168.x.x/24 ## your devices' subnet (where you want to login) # pick a whole subnet (less safe), or (a) specific device IP('s)
- 192.168.x.x ## your device IP
- 192.168.x.x ## your other device IP
- 192.168.x.x ## etcetera
trusted_users:
# 192.168.x.x/24: 123xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx9z ### the user id, from any HA instance on your subnet (less safe)
192.168.x.x: 123xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx9z ### the user id, from a specific HA instance
allow_bypass_login: true
# user id can be found here: http://homeassistant.local:8123/config/users
.

Probably a restart of your HA instance is needed.

Now you should see the screen below, after you pick the Chromecast app card “Cast a webpage”, and enter
http://192.168.x.x:8123/lovelace.../.....(8123is the default HA port number, and just copy/paste the URL of your favo dash page here).
.
This might also come in handy for displaying the dash in a browser on a tablet. After entering the HA url, it should show right away (if the tablet IP is in the listing, or if you enabled a subnet)
Have fun
