Could you make an extention to it, so that it can be loaded in Homy via CLI ---

not sure. I never tried to return file content through the api endpoints. It might be required to add an actual webservice or maybe not. I cannot tell, sorry. ---

Well, I implemented an app which would work with chromecast. I think I will try publish it on the appstore. It will solve your problem too. But it won’t involve the soundboard though ---

Wow, that’ s great, is it downloadable from github? ---

haha, no. It is not on github sorry. But I have tested it with my own chromecast whether it works with your usecase. Looks good. I need to write up some docu still and hope it will get accepted by Athom. If they decline it on the appstore I might make it public on github. ---

Thanks very much, and here are the first problems, cannot log in, “acces active refused” tried with WinSCP program on W10 PC: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/9/f98138b26c047d1d6b8fdfd989e271eaeb1cf9c1.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/c/ec2a1887eb27dd66879e23626565070c73076d1a.png) after a while, the app stops, on the screen(smartphone) > error: not-found > OK FTP Server Offline again ---

hmm… strange. Would it be an option for you to try with FileZilla? At least I tested it with that tool. Just to see if it is a problem in combination with WinSCP. ---

I just tried with WinSCP. Funny enough I can login but the directory listening command WinSCP uses to get the file list does not seem to be supported in my ftp server endpoint. ---

Mind. When I tested I found that homey does not resolve its own hostname within the Chromecast app. Not sure whether this is a common issue with all apps or not. However, you will need to use your homey’s IP instead of the hostname there. ---

Hi, Is there any way to get rid of the annoying bleep sound a Google Assistant speaker makes just before the casting of a mp3 starts? Now if the doorbell is pressed, first I hear this bleeping sound and then the doorbell sound. ---

That’s a Google home thing, which can’t be turned off currently, so you’ll have to ask Google.
