Hi All, Is it possible to cast a Soundboard file to Google Home? If that is possible, how do you extract the URL of the file so the Google Home can cast it? Thanks in advance

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.

Now on the appstore: Micro Web Server App for Homey | Homey

Thanks very much, and here are the first problems, cannot log in, “acces active refused” tried with WinSCP program on W10 PC: [image] [image] 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.
