The right app id can be found [here](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices) (enter an app’s device name)

Or just take a look at the app store URL; the last part of the app id is the ‘reversed URL’ right after `/app/`

But why not use a flow (I’m on my mobile, sorry, so ‘glue’ the screenshots from left to right)

Explained: When the app is paused or crashed, the Chromecast card will be unavailable.  
In that case, the flow restarts Chromecast
